The term_id is drawn from the term in your loop of the results from get_terms. WP does not automatically generate the id that you need. These are special IDs that ACF needs to locate your data.

foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

    // The $term is an object, so we don't need to specify the $taxonomy.
    $term_link = get_term_link( $term );

    // If there was an error, continue to the next term.
    if ( is_wp_error( $term_link ) ) {
        continue;
    }

    // We successfully got a link. Print it out.
    echo '<div class="col-lg-3"><a href="' . esc_url( $term_link ) . '">' . $term->name . '</a></div>';

    // show custom fields for the term
    // this id will be generated for each term
    $id = $term->slug.'_'.$term->term_id;
    the_field('my_first_custom_field', $id);
    the_field('my_second_custom_field', $id);
}
