IIRC, Docker has used content-addressable storage for layers for a very long time (in the form of filesystem directories whose names looked like md5 hashes). I'm not sure what's changed. Maybe just the hash function?

Layer IDs were random UUIDs before.

  Correct, layers were hashed for verification at upload and download, then stored on a "regular" uuid-addressed storage. Now they are stored in a true content-addressed store end-to-end.
