You need to read the rest of the text below the paragraph you quoted.
In summary,

There is one CATALINA_HOME which all users use for the the following
directories:
/bin
/common
/server

Each user sets their own CATALINA_BASE that points to their own copy
of the following directories:
/conf
/logs
/shared
/webapps
/work
/temp
