As far as I have seen so far, it would be done with a Handler of some kind and maybe an Action. What I want to do is use something like fom.cgi?214 but without the .cgi

So I could theoretically use the following command:

ScriptAlias /fom/ /cgi-bin/fom.cgi?

If I want to use the url http://domain.com/fom/32
instead of http://domain.com/cgi-bin/fom.cgi?32

Is this correct?

No.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/my-cgi/

Then any files in your /home/httpd/my-cgi/ are treated as CGI, even without the extension.
The first part /cgi-bin/, that is the visible part within your URL. i.e. http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/

So a script named "myscript" at /home/httpd/my-cgi/myscript is the same script as http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/myscript.
