AppId is whatever ID the container / site gives a gadget, module id is
which instance of the gadget it is on that page, domain is your
socialnetwork.com... So all your assumptions are indeed correct :)
Shindig in it's self does use some of those values, for instance when
a gadget wants to save some application data or create an activity,
the app id in the security token is used to record which app this data
belongs too .. a crucial bit of information in that case :) Also the
owner and viewer id's that are encoded in the token are heavily used
as you can imagine.
Other fields can either be used by the container in it's data services
(that you plug into shindig to couple it to your data layer), or will
be used in the future (the proxy service should know which
configuration to use, and for that it needs the domain key), so it's
in your best interest to make sure you fill them in correctly so you
don't get unexpected surprises down the road :)
