So does the machine itself have a unique MAC-like id independent of
networking capabilities? I thought each CPU had a unique number burned onto
it? This is what I thought the MAC address was.

Nope. It's a unique id per network interface.
You can get away without it being unique if you are willing to
engineer in some guarantees that most people can't make and that I
won't try to explain (unless you're really interested).
