Should it be mentioned that qemu uses the pci address internally to plug the device into its pci bus since the pci address as far as I know must still be properly provided or generated.

How about an addition for the fid? Something like: The function id 'fid' defines the slot address of the pci card in the guest. It can be observed in the guest at /sys/bus/pci/slots. In the example given above the card would be at /sys/bus/pci/slots/00000000.
