That is true.  All objects have unique object ids.  If the objects
referenced by two variables have the same object id then you've got
two references to the same object.

In your original post you had:

Which just doesn't make sense. Specifically, @one_object_id isn't
defined in your example (note the underscore instead of dot)
and should have evaluated to nil.  Since you illustrated two
different object_id's, I assumed you had simply made
some sort of cut and paste error and you had intended to show
@two.object_id and not @one_object_id.
