Comment(by hamish):

 btw, you might also try osm2pgsql to load the OSM data into a PostGIS
 Postgres DB, then live-connect to the PostGIS db with grass 7 with
 v.external. for example:

 https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/load_postgis.sh#L85

 otherwise map coordinates are stored in $MAPSET/vector in grass's vector
 format, and only feature attributes are stored in the DB. Map features are
 connected to attributes via category number.
