OK, let me say I am not 100% sure of your question, but what I have seen is this.
Manual cleaning hoses (I am assuming you are talking about suction side) are typically one piece hoses. Cleaner hoses are typically sections (of about 3 feet each, give or take) so you can adjust them to the proper length for the cleaner and your pool.
I do not know about AG vs. IG hoses other than maybe the AG might be a different diameter?
