Per your explanation, using
generate-id() could result in the same id on both the <list2>
elements.
No, Florent was telling you exactly the opposite: it will generate different
ids.
Perhaps you misunderstood his phrase "the same node". The two list2 elements
are not the same node.

So what can I do to ensure that a seperate id is generated
for every <list2>, <list3> <list1> element in one file? It
cannot be repeated for any of them?
<list1>
<list2>
<list3>
</list3>
<list3>
</list3>
<list3>
</list3>
</list2>
<lis2>
</list2>
</list1>

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).
