Yes, but a lot of the CMS pages will be accessed though content.php, so I think the question is how do you know if you're on the "home" page.

I found this thread where Lynne menstion using nodeid: www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=240063 but if it's a static html widget then I think the only way to do it would be to provide you're own "wrapper" template (which is in the text box at the bottom if you press "Configure" for your widget). You could copy the existing vbcms_widget_static_page template to a new one such as vbcms_widget_static_page_home_only or whatever, then put a conditional around it. I'll try it out and if I can figure out the exact condition I'll post it here.

ETA: oh, I see you beat me to it. In the condition you posted, is that 3 double quote characters? It should be double quote at the beginning and end, and 2 single quotes right after the ==, like:

<vb:if condition="$_GET[r] == ''">
