Gen-sets are the same, I believe the super quite "Honda EU" line is floating neutral.
Shore power should provide ground through the plug.
You can check with the manufacture, but I would probably isolate the different circuits and their grounds. This means the inverter and gen don't ground to the bus chassis. This means switch gear needs to be sourced that maintains isolation... including the bus batteries.
What are the rules on links I have a couple of articles that are relevant.

My inverter/charger does have its own ground terminal on the bottom right corner of it's frame. My MPPT charge controller and DC-DC converter both also have their own ground separate from their input and output leads.
This is a diagram that I've been studying while anticipating my electrical portion. It's not exactly the same as mine but a couple of components are the same.
I might call this guy I saw on Tiny Home Tours. He has I nice bus conversion with one of the biggest and most sorted electrical systems I've seen. He obviously knows what he's doing and he said he's willing to help people. Their bus is called the Broccoli Bus.
