Not needed unless for some reason you have multiple users with the same
username.

Simply by having the username, ftpd will point that user to his own ftp
account.

Now if you are talking about real virtual hosting where you could have
multiple users with the same name, then you'd need to have separate
authentication (passwd) files for each virtual host -- and -- you'd need
to decide on a UID (and GID) to own that user's files (maybe one UID and
GID per virtual host, but then you'd have to stop different users from
accessing other users' files -- maybe with chroot or jail?).
