That is going to be more difficult. The only way I can think of, and I hate to say it, is to set and check a global variable.

// set global
global $my_current_form;
// set form to the current form being shown
$my_current_form = 'form 1';
// call acf form
acf_form(....

// add to filter
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/key=field_XXXXXXX', 'hide_acf_field_on_front');
function hide_acf_field_on_front($field) {
  global $my_current_form ;
  if (is_admin() || $my_current_form == 'form 1')) {
    // allow field in admin
    // allow the field on "form 1"
    return $field;
  }
  // remove field
  return false;
}
