Something like this might work. This has not been tested. The “current_screen” hook is the earliest hook you can use in this example and I do not know if this is too late to add the filters for the custom location rules.

 
add_action('current_screen', 'maybe_add_filters');
function maybe_add_filters() {
  if (function_exists('get_current_screen')) {
    $screen = get_current_screen();
    if ($screen->ID == 'acf-field-group') {
      return;
    }
  }
  
  // either not in admin or not editing a field group
  
  // add filters for location rules
  
  add_filter('acf/location/rule_types', 'acf_location_rules_types');
  // etc...
  
}
