ACR is, indeed, part of Photoshop Elements 4.0 ACR is also a separate module that undergoes frequent updates, and which can be downloaded from the Adobe store free of charge. It is compatible with Elements as well as Photoshop.
While it's most likely Elements is using a version of ACR that supports the DL, you might want to be sure, and, if necessary, DL the latest ACR version, which I believe is 3.3. You can also get the DNG converter in the same package. A pretty good deal.
