How does it distinguish Ad from Content in that case?

Just take a look at one of the filter lists:
e.g.,
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt

Thanks. So it seems all a publisher has to do is avoid using ad-like terminology in their ad URLs. They can just stick them in /images/id along with regular content images and AdBlocm will have no way to tell them difference.

Yes it will -- just include the ads in /images/id on a blacklist. To prevent the ad from being blocked, you'd need to randomize its url.
