If you were at some point more than 50NM from your "home drome" then it's a
cross-country flight for the purposes of counting it towards an ATP
certificate.

So it is relevant to 14 CFR Part 61.

Let's throw in another wrinkle...
Suppose you take off from the home drome, fly an hour in one direction,
look at something on the ground, turn around, fly back and land at the
home drome.
Your round trip flight has been 240 nm, but you did not land anywhere
else.
Is this a cross country flight?
