The calculation is what assigns the value.

Did Google invent this hash?

Why is that relevant? Google used a hashing function to persist a new record within a database. They created a record for this.

Like I said in a sib. comment, this FOIA lawsuit goes into questions of hashing pretty well: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-2nd-circuit/2185910.htm...

No. The calculation is what determines what the assignation should be. It does not actually assign anything.

This FOIA litigation by ACLU v ICE goes into this topic quite a lot: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-2nd-circuit/2185910.htm...
