That's correct. WINEPREFIX is set in /usr/bin/wine if it is NOT
specified by the user. If WINEARCH is win64 or /usr/bin/wine32 is not
installed (executable), then this will be ~/.wine64 (this is for "wine"
in Debian Jessie), otherwise ~/.wine.
Note that this is not true if you directly use wine64 or any of the
binaries linking to wine-wrapper (wineboot, winecfg, ...).

Further, if you create/change a wineprefix, you'll get a line like this:
  wine: configuration in '/home/jens/.wine' has been updated.

You can check if you have a 32- or 64-bit wineprefix with the following
command (here for ~/.wine):
  cat .wine/system.reg | grep "^\#arch="

Indeed, and since only "wine" has the wineprefix logic (~/.wine or
~/.wine64) you should always use the same command, preferrably "wine",
if in doubt together with WINEARCH:
  WINEARCH=win32 wine [foo.exe|wineboot|winecfg]
