Baggage conveyor and baggage carousel bring almost the same meaning. They are interchangeably used between British and American. I come across carousel in the USA more often there than here in Malaysia as British English is the preferred standard of language. Conveyor belt is just specifically referring to the a specific belt that function to move any thing on it. So, it is not necessary refering to luggage. You could say, ' The luggage is on the conveyor belt.' We would know that the luggage is being moved by belt. ' The luggage is on the belt' would mean that luggage is just static (not moving) on the belt. The carousel ( although also describe the action of moving) denotes that something is being moved but around a centerpiece or counter instead of just moving. So, if the luggage is moved around a centrepiece in the airport, that is why the word 'luggage carousel' is used..just like a merry-go round.
