It is a samba4 winbind setting, so you need it on the Samba4 AD
controller only

the correct form is:
idmap config SOMEDOMAINNAME : backend =ad

and instructs the winbind from the samba3 suite to look up the uids gids
from AD for accounts in SOMEDOMAINNAME

No. With idmap_ad you map all not specifically configured domains using:
idmap backend = tdb
idmap uid = some uninteresting range
idmap gid = some uninteresting range

then for each DOMAIN you want to get the idmap information from the AD,
you specify:
idmap config INTERESTINGDOMAIN1 : backend  = ad
idmap config INTERESTINGDOMAIN1 : range = first range

idmap config INTERESTINGDOMAIN2 : backend  = ad
idmap config INTERESTINGDOMAIN2 : range = second range

and so on.
