That is correct but there are no hard discs for the guest system so they are emulated and possibly in such a way that you overcome the UUID problemGuest OS does not "know" it that it's being booted by VMWare
If you get an error from fsck and can't boot the normal way
you'll have to use the live CD and make some changes.
I see that I have to add a little about solving the problem, but the live CD is so like the normal environment that you should be able to fix it from there.
