I don't think there is any fibrosis in ARDS.
Would say it is an diffusion impairment, due to interstitial and intraalveolar edema with hyaline membrane formation.

no hyaline is intraalveolar material, it's a debris from all the inflamation what was happaning
Fibrosis is inside of alveolar wall, under the epithelial alveolar membrane .
Layers :
Surfactant
Pneumocytes
Basal lamina = firbrosis occures here
Capillary endothelial membrane
