It would depend on caliber, for a .44 caliber you would use a .441 to .445 ball, for 36 cal use a .362 - .365 ball or conical bullet, You want to have your ball slightly larger than the chamber size so when seated you shave a thin ring as the ball is rammed into the cylinder chamber thus sealing the powder charge from moisture and cross fire and giving the best performance with your load.

Can you fire a 45acp round in your 45lc conversion cylinder?

No. The ACP has no rim so it cannot be used in a revolver that is not designed to hold the cartridges in a clip. It is also slightly smaller in diameter than the LC (shorter, too, but that shouldn't matter in a revolver). But mostly, if you could get around those differences, the ACP uses smokeless powder and the LC was designed for black powder.

A .38 Special round is compatible with a .357 revolver because the .357 revolver is designed to shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. The .38 Special round is slightly shorter than the .357 Magnum round, but it can be safely fired in a .357 revolver without any issues.

What does 3030 stand for?

Nothing, really, but the name of the cartridge. When Winchester introduced the Model 94 in 1894 in the brand new smokeless powder round .30 Winchester caliber, most of the other ammunition on the market was black powder and had names such as 25-20, 44-40, 45-70, etc. These names stood for the caliber (diameter of the bullet) and how many grains of black powder were in the load. The .30 Winchester didn't follow that convention an dpeople didn't know what to expect, so it was not well accepted in the market and sold poorly. In a marketing move, Winchester changed the name to 30-30 (still, of course, a smokeless powder round with identical components as the .30 Winchester) and the guns and ammunition sold quite well.
