Hello Jamie, You should not make any assumptions about the mapping between a specific keyword text and its id across different accounts (or even across different ad groups). The same keyword text/match type might be assigned a different id in different ad groups, and the same id in different ad groups might correspond to different keyword text/match types.
Our policy on ids can be found in the Developer's Guide at http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/adwords_api_services.html#campaign_data_services You need to rely on a combination of ad group id and keyword id to uniquely identify a specific keyword.
