Exchange program issue?

Ok! No problem, I only though that filling different address from the one on ID looks problematically.

I just hope I wouldn't be asked about why do I have different addresses on custom form and ID ...

I would follow Jacko's advice about using the address on your IDs (if asked) and then later fill out the proper documentation to change it.

No, I meant to use the friend's new address on the customs form, then file AR-11 for the new address.

Address in US is not a requirement for GC holder, even a GC holder could be homeless.

An address is important to have for somebody who is spending 10-11 months of the year outside the US. A green card holder who stays within the US nearly all the time can be homeless for years and remain a permanent resident, but one who spends the vast majority of the year outside the US is jeopardizing their green card if they don't have a proper US address.

1. Don't show the driver's license unless they ask for it
2. You'll be in bigger problems if you list a hotel address and the officer recognizes it (they deal with tourists all the time, some of them can look at an address and recognize which hotel it is).
