For example, think about a quest hub. You first found Lucille Waycrest on a guillotine stand, then you free her, she gets mount up nearby, etc. She shares the same NPCID as long as she's around the area, despite wherever she stays exactly. As the story advances, you found her at Arom's Stand then around the waycrest court. She has different IDs in each area but the IDs limited to the area and not her locations. IIRC, the same character had different IDs for each locations he/she was found at before.

Is there a way to distinguish these key characters with the same name and the same IDs in BfA Beta?
What you have described has never been a case.
NPC with same id can be in multiples areas, there's no such restriction.
And there's no requirement for NPC to have different id if it's placed in different area.

It's all implementation details.
