Yes they are, so you can save their state in a reliable way (different developers might use the same plugin name). To generate one, with scripting active, type:
/World.Note World.GetUniqueID
Each world should get a unique ID when next saved, that ID should then persist for that world. The combination of world ID and plugin ID are used to generate a "state" file name, for saving the state of the plugin (ie. its variables). |

| | Wait a couple of hours for version 3.25 which will generate plugin files for you, adding a unique ID in the process. |
