This information can be misleading if GnuCash is installed as Flatpak via KDE Discover.  Discover automatically installs it as a single-user version under the user running Discover.  This can be confusing, because it does not prevent other users from running GnuCash, but it does mean that $HOME in GnuCash's "Configuration Locations" refers to the installing user's $HOME directory.

Thanks for responding. In retrospect, I probably failed to understand the distinctions between the installation directories and the configuration directories, so I have deleted my comment above. I was also misinformed in the Gnucash user mailing list <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> about the appropriate location for custom-user.scm.

What may still need some attention here is the disagreement with https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Environment_Variables on the correct naming of the corresponding environment variables.
