Fine.
But if module FOO in any NETCONF system imports module X,
and module BAR imports module X, can we say in the YANG spec
that they MUST refer to the same exact module X?

Likewise, if FOO includes FOO-A and FOO-B, and both FOO-A
and FOO-B include FOO-TYPES, are they including the exact same
module (i.e., exact same sequence of YANG language tokens)?

This is a different issue than which particular X or FOO-TYPES is used.
