Work out of home

1-He works out of home.
2-He works out of his home.

Do these mean:
a-He does his work inside his home.
or:
b-He does his work somewhere other than his home.

Gratefully,
Navi.

They could be either; it depends on the nature of the business. In either case, his office is his home.

Thank you very much Mr. Micawber.

But if I say:

3-John works out of town.

doesn't that simply means that his workplace is out of town?
Maybe the central office is in town?

doesn't that simply means that his workplace is out of town?-- Yes.
Maybe the central office is in town?-- No.

Confusing 'working out of one's home' and 'working out of town' is like confusing 'over the moon' and 'over the problem' or 'right' (not 'left') and 'right' (not 'wrong'). They are different idioms.
