The 5508 does not need a separate ap manager ip, the management ip does both jobs.

That's just the architecture of the 5508. You don't need a seperate AP manager.

For Cisco 5500 Series Controllers, you are not required to configure an AP-manager interface. The management interface acts like an AP-manager interface by default, and the access points can join on this interface.

You may check this article about the discovery process:
Now, with what Steve above is trying to say is that with 5508 the management interface itself is the AP manager interface (by default). so, management and ap-manager interfaces are merged into one interface with same IP address. You can change this behavior but this is the default.
The article will tell you what mechanisms can be used to direct the APs to join the WLC even if they are on different subnet.
