The man page says this :

NOTE
       The user password database mostly refers to /etc/passwd.
However, with recent systems it also refers to network wide databases
       using NIS, LDAP and other local files as configured in
/etc/nsswitch.conf.

FILES
       /etc/passwd
              local password database file

       /etc/nsswitch.conf
              System Databases and Name Service Switch configuration file


Thanks
