I find these terms incredibly confusing. I don't know how one could be a good interactive designer (or visual designer for interactive or whatever you want to call it) without being being able to hold their own with interaction design/IA/UX skills. I'm contracting for Microsoft right now as an interactive art director but so much of what I produce before visual design involves working out interaction and layout, etc.

A good interactive designer is also an interaction designers BUT there is that tendencies toward academic interaction designers. It is more or less usability specialists.

^ I agree, it's a little bit silly. Like a regular designer would have no idea how to construct a usable interface!
I did have an "interaction design" job once, but it was more about working through business requirements and translating them into designs then just drawing boxes and arrows.
