<<< Is the audiophile edition designed for home studio recording using BiB as DAW? >>>

You've asked the wrong question. One can answer no because audiophile is not specifically designed or limited for home studio recording and depending on your use, costwise may not be the best choice. If one answers yes, that is also a correct answer because the audiophile edition is designed to work anywhere it is appropriate or desirable to use BIAB backing tracks. Your end use of the product as well as your intended audience will determine if the cost and small increase that, in most circumstances and situations, is imperceptible to hear will be worth the cost increase.

The odds are overwhelmingly in favor that the package you have now is more than sufficient to meet your home recording needs and can even produce high quality demos to pitch commercially if you need to produce a product at that level.
