Do I really have leather seats?
The side and back of my seats as well as the rear passenger seats don't appear to be 100% leather.....Can anyone confirm that? I don't wanna be applying leather conditioner on vinyl!

Any seating surface that a person sits on is leather. The rest is automotive grade vinyl.

And this is not only with Acura, but with al luxery cars. Included BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, etc. In their list of options you can find 'full leather' at a very high price.

How about the arm rest on the doors or the cover on the center compartment?

I think the Center console is leather but the doors are vinyl, it would not make too much sense to use leather there.

The description of the material in most cars including the RDX is "leather trim". This tells me part of the interior is real leather, the rest is not.
