The fs-uuid is recorded in the header of every tree block.
>From fs/btrfs/ctree.h
[...]
/*
* every tree block (leaf or node) starts with this header.
*/
struct btrfs_header {
/* these first four must match the super block */
u8 csum[BTRFS_CSUM_SIZE];
u8 fsid[BTRFS_FSID_SIZE]; /* FS specific uuid */
[...]
Moreover I would be worried more about the uuid of the device than the
filesystem one...
