It doesn't as far as I know.  Here's an example from the manual where
the id is retrieved after saving to save associated data
This uses the $this->Post->getLastInsertId(); function.


/app/controllers/posts_controller.php (partial)
function add()
{
    if (!empty($this->data))
    {
        //We can save the Post data:
        //it should be in $this->data['Post']

        $this->Post->save($this->data);

        //Now, we'll need to save the Comment data
        //But first, we need to know the ID for the
        //Post we just saved...

        $post_id = $this->Post->getLastInsertId();

        //Now we add this information to the save data
        //and save the comment.

        $this->data['Comment']['post_id'] = $post_id;

        //Because our Post hasMany Comments, we can access
        //the Comment model through the Post model:

        $this->Post->Comment->save($this->data);

    }
}
