I have started a hotseat game with a friend and both times I started it one faction got a colony pod and the other faction did not. This was using both patch 2 and patch 3. We alternated the factions (the hive and the morgans) and whoever goes first does not have a colony pod.

Actually, it's determined by a number of things, many of which are not obvious at the start of a game. I imagine that the colony pod was given because the player was on crummy terrain or right next to another faction. The game tries to balance situations like this. For instance, many times when you start on a small island, it will give you a transport foil.
