It should but it may not be, someone may have transferred one, or manually
changed the holding branch. 
The important part is that this syspref is designed to only care about where
the book belongs (homebranch) not where it is (holdingbranch)

You can extend it to check the holdingbranch too if you like, but that is
certainly a different use case for which it was designed.
