Looks like your problem is that request served by one of regex locations 
in your config, not the location /home {}. So anything you specify in 
location /home {} doesn't matter.

To solve the problem you should rewrite your config like this:

location /home {
     access_log off;
     ...
}
location ~ ^/home.*\.php$|\.htm$ {
     access_log off;
     ...
}
location ~* ^/home.*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js)$ {
     access_log off;
     ...
}

And make sure home-specific regex locations written in config _before_ 
general ones.
