“Doesn’t Linux create a new user and assign UID to new users by default from – 1001, 1002, 1003 … onwards, instead of 500 ?”

Depends on the distro. Some start at 500. It is also possible to change the starting number to almost anything you please, as long as the user numbers do not conflict with preset root/system numbers.
