How are JobIds generated and can a game have duplicate JobIds?

How are JobIds generated and can you have a duplicate JobId for a game? The JobId API reference says that there can’t every be a duplicate JobId, but it doesn’t specify if it means that there can’t be a duplicate JobId for a place or for a game. I’m making a multi-place game and this is something I’ve been wondering.

It says in the documentation:

So it will be unique for every single server ever running, across all Roblox games. There should not ever be any duplicates. The chances of there being a duplicate is extremely unlikely. According to Wikipedia: if you generated 1 billion UUIDs every second for 85 years, you would have a 50% chance of a collision.
