It says "renting out the homes that they live in". Things it does not say: "renting out part of the homes that they live in" and "are present in the home during the rental period".
If I'm on the other side of the planet for a few weeks, I still live in my home in Washington, although I am not present at that time.

Sadly, AirBnb doesn't have an API I can poke at to make it more scientific - but I went through a bunch of listings in NYC a few days ago, and nearly all of the "whole apartment" listings are professional operations that operate year-round, not ad hoc arrangements (i.e., "I'm out of town, take my place"). One easy way to tell is to take a peek at the property's calendar. I'm pretty sure regular bookings for months at a time suggests it's not exactly someone renting out their primary residence.
