The "host" is the DAW, the application in which your plug-in is loaded, such as Logic or GarageBand.
Just a guess, but if you have set your maximum to 256 but the host still gives you 512, then perhaps you are using audio hardware that is set to 512? That is the only reason I can think of that the host might need to change it to 512 from 256. (Why are you using such a small size, by the way?)
