Would anyone know if my Celestron avx is compatible with eqmod? I've ordered an adapter cable and so haven't yet tested this. Thanks.

No it's not. There is a similar project to EQMod for Celestron, but it's still under development: github.com/indilib/indi/tree/master/3rdparty/indi-nexstarevo

You can contact the author to know more details.

I guess the root of my question is, am I able to perform a goto and polar align with my Celestron AVX? Does it have to be eqmod compatible? Thanks.

Yes you can do that with the INDI celestron driver.

Indeed the nexstarevo is a celestron counterpart to eqmod. Unfortunately it is not as mature as eqmod. I have recently released a new version (0.3) with better tracking, stability and few smaller additions. Right now it is limited to NS Evolution (Alt-Az) scopes and other scopes with wifi interface (skyfi). It was never tested by me with equatorial mount but in principle it should work (thanks to indi alignment subsystem). The serial interface is not implemented yet but it should be possible to implement it with just modest effort - I plan to do it but it is not my priority right now.
Long story short - you will be better off using standard celestron driver.
