1. Ryuo, not Ryou. U-O. There are a half dozen ways to romanize it but Ryou is for the dyslexic or lazy.
2. Are there levels to Haki? Yes. Katakuri and Hyo literally say that. There are also different uses to each "color." If it helps I guess we can talk about observation for example as time and space, related aspects but not the same. Future sight is not relevant to the observation used to sense like we see with Koby at Marineford and Usopp use in Dressrosa. It is a better version of what we see Sandersonia use. Back to armament, there's harder Haki but now we can be sure of two other types that still work as armor, but don't work the same way. The hardness of your basic Haki isn't related to the other armors. Cracker and Katakuri had armament so hard it troubled Luffy and the latter hurt his hands when they clashed.
2. Zoro has Ryuo, because it's Haki. However, he doesn't have advanced Haki, which either has a barrier effect to impact without contact, or on the next level does make contact but has an internal effect. This chapter opens with a confirmation of that. Simple question: can Zoro unlock the exploding collars?
3. Does it matter that he doesn't have advanced Haki? No. No where does it state that barrier Haki is needed to affect Kaido. Sentomaru, Hyo, and Kawamatsu use it for sumo style hand to hand, which is pretty useless for Zoro. Internal destruction is useful but there's no point in bothering if you have a sword as, again, opposed to using your fists. Kaido being tough to hurt with fists isn't the same as being tough to hurt with a sword, any more than Luffy completely resisting Hody's melee while being vulnerable to his teeth. He specifically mentioned his Haki not being hard enough in that sense. If Kaido's body or Haki aren't hard enough to stop Zoro's cuts then it doesn't matter whether or not it's advanced.
4. Roger and Whitebeard could clash without touching where Oden never showed that ability even though he could certainly hurt Kaido badly. So this goes with the other point but just goes by what we have already seen vs what we will see. Also along those lines, remember what Zoro said to Pica. Pica stated that he was invincible when infused and Zoro pointed out that it depended on hardness vs hardness. As long as basic Haki armament is hard enough that will provide what we have already seen as a successful result.
