It seems like it's just a unique number determined by a counter, but each time Ardour starts, the counter increments by what looks like 100. So the first few files and regions to get created get numbers like 100, 101, 102, and the next time I start Ardour they start at 200, 201, 202. Odd, maybe there was some kind of collision in the past caused by a crashed Ardour not saving the highest ID it had assigned to something before.

there is a single counter for the session. Lots of objects get unique
IDs. the counter is incremented every time one of them is created,
whether or not you realize that they have been created or not.
