I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you saying that if you visit
someone else's shack and operate their equipment, you should use their
callsign..?

Here in the UK the convention is to use your own call with the suffix /A
(alternative address) i.e. "this is G6URP/A operating from the QTH of
G3USA".

If however G3USA was licensed to use bands/modes I was not, I could
operate on them under his callsign, but giving my own call as the
operator. In this case I would complete G3USA's log not my own.
