Yes, they do. The only small problem you might have is that users are stored using numeric ID. If you're restoring on another machine, or re-create the users manually in a different order before restoring, the IDs might not match. Not a problem if it's the same machine and /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow are backed up too.
