Yes, each user needs a passwd file.

No, /root/.vnc/passwd is only used for the root user.  Notice the "su -"
in front of the command.  This changes to the assigned user and starts
VNC.

Using their example of jdimpson, you would need a
/home/jdimpson/.vnc/passwd file.  If this file doesn't exist, the jdimpson
VNC session wouldn't start.
