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.

HTH,
