You don't need to use the GUID per se, but in your examples above you seem to have provided the value of "Offline Global Address List", which is no the identity of your OAB, thus the error. The correct value would be "Default Offline Address Book".
I created a new address list 'Association Contacts', that I want to make available to a single group of users. In this command I am just trying to create an address book policy that assigns the new list to the intended user group.

Maybe I am off the mark in how best to proceed in this scenario, super grateful for any knowledge you can share on this!
You can reuse the existing GAL/OAB, yes. But you need to provide their corresponding identities (or GUIDs) in the cmdlet above, not the address lists they "consist of".
- I see, and how would I retrieve the GUID for the address lists? When I use Get-OfflineAddressBook, I only get the following output: Name: Default Offline Address Book, Versions: {Version4}, AddressLists: {\Offline Global Address List}
