The only person who knows that info is the person you gave it to to allow them to become a real id friend. So It would tell you friend John Doe is playing Starcraft 2. Even if his unique number is 12345678 this is internal to the system to keep track of each player and in no way a display name.

There is actually an internal battle.net account number now.
When you log on the current 3.3.5 PTR , when the default folders are created then a numbered folder appears in your WTF/Account folder.
IMHO All they would need to do is implement a way of using that number to friend someone using the Real ID system. Maybe even an alias to put it on your computer to denote who that person is.
