Your subject line has a question in it, but the body does not.  Is your 
question "Where are scripts executed?"  If that is your question then yes, 
you're correct, it should be the home directory of the user you logged into 
the remote server with.  You can see by doing something like 


ansible servera -m shell -a "ls"-u username

This will print the contents of the working directory when a user logs in.  
Try it with the become options to see what the result is.  You can use an 
absolute path to call a script.  Or use the "chdir" option for shell, 
something like

---
- hosts: collector
  become: true
  become_method: su
  become_user: root


  tasks:


  - name: stop eum
    shell: bin/eum.sh stop
    args:
      chdir: /opt/AppDynamics/EUEM/eum-processor/



should guarantee that you're in the correct location.
