Technically, the owners of said passports aren't required to be there or 
present the application themselves. I've applied for a number of visas 
for staff without dragging them in there.

I suspect the dodgy looking Japanese dude wasn't the handler of the 20 
cute Filipino girls (he should be so lucky). Some other non-descript 
would have.
