Just repeating what I was told by someone who deals with people from all over the world on a daily basis
I agree with your AirBNB host. I'm in the same boat as you, and I tend to hide my identity a bit better as I lived in Western Europe for an extended period.
I can also spot the difference easily between ABC/CBCs and Chinese who grew up/lived in China.
I'd say a lot of it is facial expressions more so than just the body language.
