Passport theft / identity theft have been very common in many countries like Thailand. The missing MH370 had surfaced a lot of those identity theft incidents. [1]
This is like saying a "Javier Fernández" cannot be a British citizen because it is not a British man's name. And he specifically says (00:40) that the passport digitally contains a different picture, of maybe the real owner.
Nope, it's much simpler (and I wouldn't make that judgement). Male Czech having a feminine surname ("-ova") probably wouldn't happen.
Edit: you updated your comment with the bit about the picture so it looks like I ignored it even though I didnt. He's speculating, we have no idea on the origins of the passport.
Fair point (here in Spain males and females have sometimes the "son of" surname). But I think that he's trying to say that the smuggler has warned him that the passport contains the biometric data of someone, so when scanned a different photo will pop up (you can see the electronic passport symbol in the cover).
Probably the forger has just altered the name and picture on the paper, but can't tamper with the microchip that contains the data of the real owner.
