nodes, generates unique id values for each of the nodes.
Is this correct?
Yes. And it is guaranteed to generate always the same ID when
called on the same node. The typical example is the creation of
a table of content: you pass through the entire document in a
first pass, in a mode dedicated to generating the ToC, using
generate-id on say, the section elements, to generate links to
the sections; then you pass through the entire document a second
time, to format the actual content, setting on each section the
same ID used in the ToC (by calling generate-id again on the
section elements).
