I don't use android anymore, but I think they do. That's what happens when you "drag and drop" files from a PC to an Android phone, and there are a lot of file managers that don't require root access and read/write to /home.Android doesn't allow it nonetheless, unless you have root access. Yes, technically it is linux, but that wasn't the reference I was making.
In any case I'm using /home as a reference for a common user-accessible part of the system. It could be /home/asdasd or whatever.
