As far as I know: Yes

NT uses the same identification mechanism for users and for machines
in a domain. So you need an machine entery in /../../smbpasswd.
smbpasswd is part of the NT-RID <-> Unix-ID translation and it has to
be ensured that this is unique. So every entery in smbpasswd needs
one in passwd.
