It doesn't matter (in this case) how many records is in user_profile
table. Planner does sorting.
Here is version with more rows:
$ explain (analyze,verbose,buffers) SELECT count(*) from (select * from
users_profile order by id) u_p;
                                                                  QUERY

   Output: count(*)

And without "order by":
$ explain (analyze,verbose,buffers) SELECT count(*) from (select * from
users_profile ) u_p;
                                                               QUERY

         Output: users_profile.id
