There is no middleman with ACS - the forwarder writes to a collector. Each collector writes to a specific database.
Think of ACS as a completely separate program that has nothing to do with SCOM. It simply becomes bundled with it. ACS has its own service, uses it owns channel (ports) and encryption, and is simply bundled with SCOM. Now - you can install the collector on a GW, and that GW could write to a unique DB... so you could still have a single pint of access through the firewall... but in a cloud/multi-tenant environment this would have to be designed carefully, based on security, and network bandwidth.
