The question that your scrum master asked "what would they do that a Scrum Master doesn't do?", is a bit weird.

In examples, that i can quote, we have a project (small) team that runs pure scrum, and on the other hand we have a project which has a 'Agile PM' along with scrum master, product owner and the team.
