That is not what that is for, nor is it required. If you want to share games with him, you have to log into your account on his machine. The primary console (which allows you to play offline) allows him to play the games on his machine using any account on the machine. The secondary consoles must verify something via online access. 

You would have to choose which is the primary and which is the secondary

If I have a Switch and I want my nephew to be able to use my account and play my downloaded games at his house on his switch would I be able to do that with a switch family account? Like can you Gameshare with it?

Dang. Ok. I guess I'll just buy him some games on his account separately then
