You can get the list from /etc/password easily enough with awk. I'd do:
USERS=$(awk -F: '$3 > 999 { print $1 }' | grep -v nobody)
which assumes you follow the convention of new users being above
1000. Given that list, you can easily create the directories:
cd /home
for user in $(awk -F: '$3 > 999 { print $1 }' | grep -v nobody)
do
mkdir $user
# Copy whatever else you want into place, say /etc/skel/.*
chown -R $user $user
done
