It's just a marketing term. Just like AAA is a marketing term meaning we spent more money advertising this product than we spent on development.

Have any companies besides ubisoft used the term yet?

I seem to remember MS claiming they were opening the "first AAAA dev studio" (The Initiative). Since then, the studio has been radio silent, lost a bunch of talent, and needed help from Crystal Dynamics to work on their first game (Perfect Dark reboot).
