No, it doesn't.

This is your mistake. Think about it
for linia in `cat /etc/passwd`
do
echo Line just read: $linia
done
That shows what is going wrong; the "in" is splitting at the white space.
What you should be doing
cat /etc/passwd | while read linia
instead.
Even better would be
while read linia
do
....
done < /etc/passwd
Or, to rewrite the whole program in a one line awk script:
awk -F: '{printf("zmprov ma %s@'$domain' displayName %s\n",$1,$5)}' /etc/passwd > $file
