The FirewireGUID is just a name used for the serial number stored on
the iPod and which is used to generate a hash of the iTunesDB that is
written to the device.  Without the FirewireGUID, apps like gtkpod
can't write an iTunesDB that the iPod will play.  So it really has
nothing to do with the type of connection used.  (It's Apple, is it
supposed to make sense? :)
