"In other words, in order to complete user stories, DOD and acceptance criteria must be met"
I'd add that acceptance criteria are optional in Scrum and can, but doesn't have to be part of the DoD. I can imagine DoD which says, among others, "acceptance criteria met or PM approves the PBI".
However, it's probably a good practice to have the acceptance criteria by default in DoD definition.
