I have HOME A and HOME B (separate locations)

Both use an ATV as Home Hub.

While physically being in home location A, I was able to add a home device located in home location A to HOME B using my iPhone. In my case it was a bluetooth temperature sensor. When looking at HOME B through the Home app, the sensor was listed and showed the temperature as it was measured in HOME A.

When I unplugged the ATV in HOME A, the temperature sensor data was no longer updated.

This would only work with bluetooth devices (devices that use their own bridge like Philips Hue will most likely not behave like this).

Note: had an issue with some location where, on my iPhone, the Home app was saying that I was at Home B (while I was actually at Home A) and on my iPad, the Home app was saying I was at Home A (which was correct). I'm now thinking if the above might have something to do with it.
