You identify that there is a face yes, that's face detection, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_detection, which is not the same as face recognition and doesn't need a model per person.

No I mean you have to try to recognize the face. Otherwise you can not decide whether the face is from a person who wants to be identified or not.

I don't see how it could work any other way.
