So then how does URL rewriting relate to using hashes to download files,
like many file servers do. For example you might want to download some
stored executable, but the link actually points to something convoluted
like:

http://example.com?id=576fab89756cc

Or something.

How does that play into URL rewriting? Is this some database lookup and redirect that is occurring in the background to download the file in this
case?

In your example above, you don't even need rewriting. You simply have index.php get the ID out of the URL and look up that ID in a database.
