MD course is done after MBBS. It makes you a specialist in a broad field like General Medicine or Pediatrics.

No, DM is not equivalent to a PhD. These are two types of PG courses in Medicine and health sciences with different points of focus and purpose.

DM is clinical and focused in orientation with the focus being on the care of patients and practice of medicine.
