It is recommended to match the .desktop file name, but it should be unique is 
all that is really required of it. From the doc for the appstream standard,

A general pattern for a valid ID tag is to use a reverse URL scheme, consisting 
of `<tld>.<vendor>.<product>.<type>`, e.g. `org.kde.gwenview.desktop` or 
`com.hugski.ColorHug2.firmware`.

 But I am not really sure if I understood the question completely. Please do 
clarify.
