CF distro and ACM certificate in different account

Is it possible to create a CF distro in account A using an ACM's issued certificate sitting in account B?

CF doc states it is NOT possible (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/cnames-and-https-limits.html) but I can see a customer config (in ACM console) where a certificate is listing as associated resources CF distros belonging to a different account

I have tried to do so (via CFN) and I am getting a "The specified SSL certificate doesn't exist, isn't in us-east-1 region, isn't valid, or doesn't include a valid certificate chain" error msg so I am not sure whether it is a poor error messaging (i.e. access denied due to cross-account attempt) or smth else going on

Thanks!
