Others may answer better than me, but... I think there are two sources
for the definition of home:
the HOME environment variable, and the entry in /etc/passwd.
I have myself:

~> id
uid=1000(marc) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),545(Users)
~> grep marc /etc/passwd | tr : '\n'
marc
unused
1000
513
U-sartre\marc,S-1-5-21-1848142070-2449128644-2827604881-1000
/home/marc
/bin/bash
~> echo $HOME
/home/marc
