No, it's an existing account. After all, if it wouldn't exist, how
would Windows be able to resolve the SID into a name?
If the receiving account on the target machine is not a domain account,
then "None" is its default Windows primary group, the local group with
RID 513.

As Jeremy already noted, Cygwin emulates POSIX permissions. The default
POSIX permissions are 0644. Well, actually it depends on your umask and
your usage of the scp -p option, but let's assume the default settings
are used. This leads to the following ACL:
ServerName\User rw-
ServerName\None r--
Everyone r--
Note that Windows Explorer only erroneously treats such files as
"shared" if they are in your own user folder. If you scp the files
into some other folder (like, say, /home/user within your Cygwin folder
hirarchy, this won't occur anymore.
