As you surmised yourself, MeshShading->Automatic uses ColorFunction to colour
the area between the mesh lines. Unfortunately, you can only provide one ColorFunction in ParametricPlot. If you want to shade the areas between the mesh lines using two different ColorFunctions, you could do something like

pl1 = ParametricPlot[{(v + u) Cos[u], (v + u) Sin[u]}, {u, 0,
    4 Pi}, {v, 0, 5},
   ColorFunction -> {Function[{x, y, u, v}, Hue[x]]},
   MeshFunctions -> {#3 &}, MeshShading -> {None, Automatic}];
pl2 = ParametricPlot[{(v + u) Cos[u], (v + u) Sin[u]}, {u, 0,
    4 Pi}, {v, 0, 5},
   ColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, u, v}, GrayLevel[v]],
   MeshFunctions -> {#3 &}, MeshShading -> {Automatic, None}];
Show[pl1, pl2]
