IIRC the real ID is 5. But if you pass 0, this value is converted in 5

$ grep BTRFS_FS_TREE_OBJECTID *.h
ctree.h:#define BTRFS_FS_TREE_OBJECTID 5ULL
[...]

And in super.c:

[...]
                case Opt_subvolid:
                        num = match_strdup(&args[0]);
                        if (num) {
                                *subvol_objectid = memparse(num, NULL);
                                kfree(num);
                                /* we want the original fs_tree */
                                if (!*subvol_objectid)
                                        *subvol_objectid =
                                                BTRFS_FS_TREE_OBJECTID;
