What do you mean by "sandbox"?
I mean the ability to use it as though it were a live system, but not in fact accessible by the Internet.
For that, it does not matter where you place the files (directly under /var/www or inside your home), it only matters that you restrict access, either in Apache's configuration or on your firewall (or both!), to disallow access from outside. The document you linked to does not really take any steps to prevent access from the Internet. You might want to consider running Apache on a custom port instead of the default 80.
