You can use the esri.arcgis.utils.createMap method to add an item from ArcGIS.com to your application. This method requires the web map id from ArcGIS.com. There are a few samples in the help that show how to work with items from ArcGIS.com

The map id usually refers to the variable used when creating the map application. Within this "map" you have the layers and geoprocessing events. Below is an example:

      [PHP]var map; //Your initial variable calling the map
      function init() {
        var initExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-17731,"ymin":6710077,"xmax":-12495,"ymax":6712279,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100}});
        map = new esri.Map("map",{extent:initExtent});
        //Add the world street map layer to the map. View the ArcGIS Online site for services http://arcgisonline/home/search.html?t=content&f=typekeywords:service
        var basemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer");
        map.addLayer(basemap);
        //resize the map when the browser resizes - view the 'Resizing and repositioning the map' section in
        //the following help topic for more details http://help.esri.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/inside_guidelines.htm
        var resizeTimer;
        dojo.connect(map, 'onLoad', function(theMap) {
          dojo.connect(dijit.byId('map'), 'resize', function() { //resize the map if the div is resized
            clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
            resizeTimer = setTimeout( function() {
              map.resize();
              map.reposition();
            }, 500);
          });
        });
      }
      dojo.addOnLoad(init);
    </script>
</head>

<body class="claro">
    <div dojotype="dijit.layout.BorderContainer" design="headline" gutters="false"
    style="width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;">
//This inserts the map into the body of your webpage
<div id="map" dojotype="dijit.layout.ContentPane" region="center" style="overflow:hidden;">
      </div>
    </div>
</body>

</html>[/PHP]

So your ID is what you are calling your map when you load it into the webpage. Hope this helps
