Yes, you could use this Id to create Principal object.
my $PObj = new RT::Principal( $session{'CurrentUser'});
$PObj->Load($id);

Also each RT user has ACL_Equvivalence group in Group table.
Groups.id == Principals.id allways. Principals.ObjectId is not used any 
more.
So you could load Group object with id also.

I think you need principal obj because it has IsGroup method.
