Rather than explaining it by pH, I would explain it by process which is what leads to the difference in pH. A bog is a wetland mostly fed by direct precipitation, while a fen is fed mostly by groundwater. A swamp and marsh are fed by overland or surface water.

So can a bog also be a swamp?

I’d heard bogs are good at preserving bodies, I guess fens aren’t. Never hear about fen bodies or fenman.
