$server_name is the primary server name, which is the first parameter
in the server_name directive.

The "host" header sent by the client is $http_host. A tidied-up version
of that (which could be populated from something else instead) is $host.

Your configuration limits based on the server name. All requests to
one server{} have the same $server_name, so what you see is what you
asked for.
