Perhaps a picture will help clarify:
home devices <-- ~25Mb/s (wifi) --> router <-- 100Mb/s --> homegate
<-- 0.4 Mb/s --> Internet
The router is the NAT. The homegate is the headend of the congested
link.
In a typical home situation, the router is a Linksys base station/NAT
box and the homegate is something like a Motorola cable modem.

User = IP address (i.e., just to keep it simple).
In a typical home deployment, there's just one IP address visible
to the home gateway (e.g., cable/DSL modem): the address that the
home router has acquired. The actual machines, phones, game
consoles, etc., are behind a NAT.
But those ARE visible to the outbound queueing machinery of the HG,
and hence the queues facing the uplink could have finer policy.
