Isn't professor a higher title though?

No; adjunct faculty can also rightly be called professor without having achieved a doctorate. I've had a few professors that had BAs and MFAs (esp. since I'm not sure that there are PhD programs for fine arts).

Interesting; I've literally never heard of this (EU)

Could just be the schools that I've gone to, could be some weird thing that the US does that no one else does (kinda like SI v. metric).

It depends what country you're in
