No, the variable TEXMFHOME is ~/texmf by default, where ~ expands to
$HOME on Unix and to %USERPROFILE% on Windows. Thus,
kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFHOME
provides different results for different users.
If you install TL for a single user, you can change TEXMFHOME as you
like. In a multi user environment a particular user can only change
TEXMFHOME by setting an environment variable.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
