A vacated conviction means the conviction is set aside, in this case by a judge following legal guidelines. A pardon is a conviction set aside by an executive (Governor or President). A conviction can be nullified by executive order or judicial order.

Does a judge have to give credit for time served before a conviction?

Judges normally do give credit for time served before a conviction, but I wouldn't say that they HAVE to do that; the whole concept of being a judge is that they get to judge things, meaning, they get to make decisions. There are very few things that a judge has to do. They do what they see fit to do. Of course, if a judge makes a bad decision, it is possible that a higher court will reverse that decision.
