Otherwise put, in (La)TeX terms is there a lilypond equivalent of
~/texmf ?
There's no standard directory. Just use what you want and then use
--include=/PATH/TO/DIR to let lilypond find your files.
On linux, there seems to be no equivalents, at least as far as I can
tell. It thought
~/.local/share/lilypond would be it, but it is not created at
installation time. Is there an environment variable that could be
set? The docs make reference to LILYPOND_DATADIR, but that seems to
indicate the global location, as far as I can tell from the following
description:
LILYPOND_DATADIR
This specifies a directory where locale messages and data files are
looked up by default, overriding locations defined either at
compile-time or computed dynamically at run-time (see Relocation
<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#relocation>).
The directory should contain subdirectories called ‘ly’,
‘ps’, ‘tex’, etc.
Or is "locale" a typo for "local"?
I'm confused

Locale refers to localization, i.e. translation files (PO files).
On my current 2.23.0 installation from lilypond.org package, I see this:
$ ls .local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/
fonts ly ps python scm vim
Locale files are in another directory:
$ ls .local/lilypond/usr/share/
bash-completion emacs fontconfig gdb ghostscript glib-2.0 guile
lilypond locale xml
$ ls .local/lilypond/usr/share/locale/
