Do I define the home position of my CNC machine in Fusion 360?

I have a 3 axis router that homes to the back top right using limit switches. The Z axis can then be zeroed to the surface of the work piece.

 

Do I need to define the x,y home position of my machine in Fusion 360, or is this normally done in the post processor? (I will use Linux CNC)

 

If I do this in Fusion, how do I do it? 

 

I am assuming that the g-code generated by fusion needs to have it's 0,0,0 to be the same 0,0,0 as my CNC machine, or a least that sounds the most logical way to do things to avoid confusion. 

 

I am new to CNC btw.
