However, the phrase CAGED method or CAGED system seems to be used interchangeably for many different learning techniques. E.g. the 5 box CAGED method.

Yep.
The whole "system/method" notion irritates me, as it seems to confuse everyone who is unfamiliar with it. It's just not. It's like talking about the "F-A-C-E system" or "Every Good Boy Does Fine" method. It's simply a basic layout acronym. Pretty helpful for being that, but that's basically all that it is.
Individual methods with "CAGED" in the title are just THAT: individual methods.
