Not necessarily. It might consist of user IDs (integers, UUIDs) or hashed values of something that can be mapped to the user...

User ID's are considered PII though. If it can be mapped to the user, it's by definition identifying information

Identifiers that have no meaning outside of your system are not PII.

I would agree, of course if that identifier is not in some other database, that maps it to a person. If you have just ids in a backup and you remove the person-ID mapping this should be fine.
