1.) There is no /.dbus/ directory on any CentOS systems I’ve used.  It sounds to me like someone tried to run a dbus-aware user program as root where $HOME=/.  It would be regenerated if you did that again.  The system-level dbus files are in /var/lib/dbus.  The systemd init system uses dbus to communicate, but it uses a private socket file.

2.) That said, yes, the dbus configuration is a per-host config with a unique machine-id for the system dbus-daemon and unique dbus sessions for users.  They’re generated when you first run a session.
