On your plan

A template job does what the Theme template menu in the Shopify product or page editor does, on a timer. At the start time each selected product or page switches to an alternate template. At the end its own template comes back.

The change is store-wide, not per market. The homepage is a theme file, not a page, so it is not in the list.
