The account Asterisk connects with (in jabber.conf) appears in the
buddy list, with a default resource named 'asterisk', and has Jingle
capabilities. Usually, when you see a buddy without any resource, it
means that this buddy is in your roster, but is not currently
connected.

Gtalk and Jingle channels use Asterisk's RTP stack. The UDP port is
negociated and can take any value, in the range specified in rtp.conf
for Asterisk, unknown for the remote peer.
