AntennaPod registers for XML files, so that you can import OPML files. It looks like your file manager somehow detects acsm files as plain XML and therefore calls AntennaPod. I don’t think we can do something about that - AntennaPod does not register on the file **extension** but on the file **type**.

File type is the name of the file?  
In this case the name is URLLink.acsm  
It is a book from my library

Type is about what is inside the file, independent from name or extension. In case you are using a third-party file manager, you could ask its developers why acsm files are detected as plain xml.
