"Solaris basically assumes that both the client and the server have the same UIDs/GIDs for every user." You should replace Solaris by nfsv3 in this sentence as this is a NFS v3 and older requirement. NFS v4 user mapping is done differently. You also wrote read1 and read2 users probably do not exist on the Solaris side. Technically, this is not required.

No, the user's don't need to exist on the solaris server. If you're using NFSv3, though, you will need to chown the home directories to the right UID and GID, if you want the remote users to be able to read and write to them. If you're using NFSv4, you can accomplish similar results setting ZFS ACLs for the read1 and read2 users (chmod A+user:$UID:full_set:fd:allow /export/home/$dir). I was unclear in my answer.
