I got the user correct now I am wondering why this is nessasary for my environment.
I am not using Amazon EC2 services so why would I need to get metadata from there API?

Can someone explain?

Josh was right, though.
Recent versions of cloud-init will create the user if it is not there.
If the user is present, it will not modify it.
