Nope. ASM was removed because the mod developer discontinued it and removed it. ARK only allows published active mods.
It would be like trying to find Pepsi Blue in the wild. Great tasting soda, turned your urine a different color though, so was pulled from shelves. Eventually, people couldn't find it, cause, well it wasn't there any more.
Same thing with ASM. The developer decided to no longer support, update, or even show active the mod. So poof. Gone.
I suspect while WildCard goes through all of the WorkShop content prepping for the official Epic Games Store mods we'll see more "dead mods" pulled.
It's not so much as deleted as it is Hidden, if you Google Ark ACM V2.7.1294 you will be brought to the page and can still install it via the Steam page, but as for on here. I am not sure how you would do that.
