No, this is just an app launcher. You can still install a different one.

If you're running the default app launcher today, I don't know who you thought wrote "GoogleHome.apk", even if you didn't know the name. If you're not, then just keep running the one you are.

If Google's launcher is fully replaceable, then that's not an issue, as long as it stays that way.
