So the answer is yes.
I don't know what the significance of the "a358:d643" part is, although
it's probably related to the first "2001" indicating that you have IPV6
over a tunnel.

I don't think my modem is also a router, but I'm not sure. It's an
Arris model TM822G, self-purchased (not rented from the ISP). So I'm
inclined to agree with Ed...
After checking the modem manual, I agree.

Are Ed and I correct? What is the significance/importance of this?
Unlike most people, you *are* directly connected to the internet, so
would do well to have basic security enabled. Keep the firewall on. :-)
You're not running anything other than cups that's remotely connectable,
so there's not really anything to even check for hacking attempts, since
there's nothing to break into. (cups should be blocked by default by
the firewall.)
