It looks like it is some kind of link/copy to other models (can by across different object parents). Model which contains mesh sub-block and this 0x36 is a reference model (which has unique id in this sub-block), other models containing this sub-block with the same id are just the copies of the reference model and thus can not contain any mesh sub-block.

Yep. It's used for mesh instancing on the model file level The first occurance of this block within some mesh object registers a unique numeric identifier. Other meshes then may reference its mesh data using the same identifier and thus save space in the file.
