Pretty sure the rocm backend for tensorflow uses hip, not OpenCL, and hip is basically just AMD's implementation of cuda.
I don't think it's accurate to say that the "entire ROCM stack is based on OpenCL." The rocm stack supports OpenCL, but it also supports hip, which is what AMD chose to use to implement many of the new libraries in the rocm platform (rocBLAS, rocFFT, rccl; replacing cuBLAS, cuFFT, nccl)
FWIW, rocm also doesn't support OpenCL 2.0.
