Hi, in the Encyclopedia under armor type theres rolled and I guess this is meant to be Rolled Homogenous Armor, RHA. But theres also concrete-enforced. Is this meant to be FHA, face hardened armor?

You mean Zimmerit. But thats not an armor type. Its more like an coating on top of the armor. Its a paste. Zimmerit wasnt used in e.g. 1942.
It was used from 12/43 - 09/44.

No, "face-hardned" has two types, all are face hardened but with different technologies.

Concrete-enforced - is "German style" armor, saturation of the surface layer of carbon and alloying elements - nickel, manganese, molybdenum and etc.
Rolled, face-hardened - thermal treatment of the surface by a particular algorithm.

Result is the same, but different technologies used.
