AO bake means ambient occlusion, and ambient comes from all directions. You can, of course limit the direction ambient can come from, by putting in planes that block ambient light (like a ground plane).
A great tool for this is
xNormal

That's not AO bake, that's simply a light/shadow bake (it can be called different things). Yes, it's possible. How it is done varies between apps. What are you planning on using?
