If I understood right, this module separates user settings from user administration, so giving user ability to modify users don't give the user ability to modify site wide settings
This should definitely be the default approach in drupal core

Exactly

Yes I agree it should be. As long as it is not, we provided this mini module.

"Isn't the functionality the same as http://drupal.org/project/administerusersbyrole ?"

No, it only splits permissions for the privileges "user settings" and "user administration". So You can give Your "admin user" "user administration" privileg and deny "user settings". In that way this "admin user" can add, delete, change (manage) users without having permission to change the general user settings as: how other users register at Your portal or how the account is to be verified".
It could be seen as an add on to http://drupal.org/project/administerusersbyrole".
With "administerusersbyrole" prevent that "admin user" can change details (password for example) of the root user (user 1) and gain access to user settings this way.
