I THINK user. But that's what I was looking for confirmation on.
That's why I posted the details of the fact that I'm using a shared
hosting account.
<<Depends how you set it up.>>
Ok--so it can be configured to use MY bayesian training then. GOOD.
<<It sounds like you're a user on someone else's hosting though>>
Yes I am.

When I ask them anything about SA configuration, they point me to
spamassassin.apache.org. They have told me that I can use my own
userprefs file and told me where the file is.

Are you running SA as a user or as an admin?
If I use Bayesian filtering (I want to), will other users of my host's
system affect SA's learning? Or will it only read MINE? If I can allow it
Depends how you set it up.
to include other users training but have that carry a lower weight in the
decision process then that's what I'd like to do. But I don't want the
fact that someone else identified something as spam to carry as much weight
as MY identifying something as spam.
There's a single DB, either yours, or a site-wide DB.
Also when the host updates SA, will I need to re-train SA? I've read that
minor or maintenance updates don't need retrained, but what about major
upgrades? If so, will SA just stop working? Or will I just start
receiving more spam until I get it re-trained again?
So far, there's been no situation where an upgrade requires restarting with
Bayes, SA upgrades the DB formats and such.
It sounds like you're a user on someone else's hosting though -- I'd talk to
them about what their SA setup is and how you're expected to use it.
