No, you should definetly not be able to ping it.  Where are you in
respect to home.net?  If you are not directly connected to home.net and if
you can ping that IP, then @home is trying to advertise 10.0.184.0 to
their upstreams and they are accepting those advertisments.  If you are
on home.net then you will be able to see them.  That is definetly wrong
though!  I can see if you use 10.x net for un-advertised touch-down nets
between two routers, but you should definetly not be able to ping them
from afar.
