I saw that there are updates for both the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air flash storage firmware.

Apple Support - Flash Storage Firmware 1.0

How do you determine the current firmware version installed on the notebook? Is there an easy way to create a "smart computer group" criteria that identifies the machines that need the update?

Just run a softwareupdate -l on a machine to get the name of that update, afterwards run a "softwareupdate -i $UPDATENAME" to install just that update. You can wrap that up in a small script or a policy. When the softwareupdate -l doesn't deliver the firmware update, the machine doesn't need it.
