It's both, really. artificial = it doesn't exist before the first nfs mount fake = from the remote machine it's an imitation of the real /home filesystem on the other machine. It looks like /home, it smells like /home, it tastes like /home, but if you eat it you get no calories/joule. The point is: if it is not there (before the first nfs mount!) it shouldn't be there! Think of it as stepping into a broken elevator (door open, elevator not on the same level). The door opening is usually prohibited in such a case by some internal security measures. However, if it were to open nevertheless there is a chance that you don't recognize fast enough and step into it and splash ... That's exactly how nfs behaves, it's an elevator without that safety net.
