Yes the Guid of the default fields like Title, Author, Created etc. stays the same across machines. You can reference them with the SPBuiltInFieldId class. E.g.: SPBuiltInFieldId.Title will give you the Guid of the Title field.

I am using CAML query to define content type and I am referring 14-Hive\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\fields\fieldswss.xml for refering existing columns. – Ravi Ranjan Nov 17 '12 at 10:10

Yes the GUIDs mentioned in that file are common across different machines too. In fact if you fetch the GUID of a default column through the SPBuiltInFieldId class, it will return the same GUID as mentioned in the fieldswee.xml file. – Vardhaman Deshpande Nov 17 '12 at 15:03
