In my experience ID passes are not that great to use for masks.  There are
gizmos on nukepedia which pull keys on the color but they are often
bleeding color into other channels because there are colors which aren’t
even secondary(pink, light green, etc..) and the pass is not anti-aliased.
 Also anything semi-transparent like glass or motion blur is an instant
fail.  It is much better to render a bunch of separate mattes to channels
in an exr file.  Nuke lets you have up to 1024 channels, so you should use
them :)  I haven’t seen a script for arnold yet but there are many for MR
and Vray to auto generate matte passes in separate channels of an exr for
objects in a scene.
