How do you figure which list or lists the event receiver applies to?
Well, we can know if this Template ID is OOB from this list.
Also, we can use the browser if we want to check only one or 2 specific lists that we already know they exist. This post describes how to get the template ID of from list settings page using the 'g_wsaListtemplateId' variable.

But the stuff above do not really answer the question as the id '16016' is custom.. "I want to know all -if any- lists that uses this template ID across the whole farm"?
My answer: Let's write some code!
I wrote a simple console app to get a collection of list names that are based on a specific template ID, and their web url.
Make sure you run this code in a SharePoint server machine because it will access the local farm and iterate through web applications, site collections & webs.
Hope this helps someone!
