I don't think anyone is assuming that. You do not need to install qemu-guest-agent at all. I don't use it at all since spice gives me enough features and qemu-guest-agent increases attack surface unnecessarily in that case.
Then if it's really not meant to be installed on the host, then its' only use case would be if the guest system were Debian or a Debian derivative (Ubuntu, Mint, etc). It cant be assumed that all non-Debian based distros will be guaranteed to have an installable package called "qemu-guest-agent". Some may, some may not.
