Where does id / getent query ?

I'm typing "id <user's id>" and its returning a different UID that what is defined in our administration system. Where does id / getent query and where is it configured to query? I'm guessing it queries the local /etc/passwd file first, and then if it doesn't find anything it would query LDAP correct?
