It's public. The lower 32 bits of the group's SteamID is the group ID.

Example:
Take the largest group on steam:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/KiFFERSTUEBCHEN
Check out the "Enter chat room" link:
steam://friends/joinchat/103582791429524891
Lower 32 bits of 103582791429524891 = 3483

Done.

More interesting question is, how does the 3rd party know your 
Steamgroup ID? That is not public information, is it?
