/etc/passwd is just one source of truth for user accounts.  Systems can
be configured to use others, frequently from the network.  In this case,
linux-lab.cs.stevens.edu happens to use LDAP, so user account
information is retrieved from there.

The aws.pub file would only exist if it had been created by you.  That
is the public ssh key that you'd use for the account on the EC2
instance.
