Following doc https://ipfs.io/docs/getting-started/ what is the 'peer identity' hash key , this is required to store files on ipfs ?

From 'getting started' doc
peer identity: Qmcpo2iLBikrdf1d6QU6vXuNb6P7hwrbNPW9kLAH8eG67z
to get started, enter:
ipfs cat /ipfs/QmYwAPJzv5CZsnA625s3Xf2nemtYgPpHdWEz79ojWnPbdG/readme
Should each of these keys contain same value ?

Once I 'ipfs init' and close terminal is the hash key stored on system so can re-access or is it required by user to securely store ?
