True.
A future release will have this text:

       HOMEHOST
              The homehost line gives a  default  value  for  the  --homehost=
              option  to mdadm.  There should be exactly one other word on the
              line.  It should either exactly <system> or  a  host  name.   If
              <system> is given, then the gethostname(2) systemcall is used to
              get the host name.  When arrays are created, this host name will
              be  stored  in  the  metadata.   When arrays are assembled using
              auto-assembly, only arrays with this host  name  stored  in  the
              metadata will be considered.



Thanks.
