Once he steps off, he's not really the pitcher (as the term is used in these types of discussions).

Agree...as long as he's acting like a fielder...

That said and to counter Lastump's comment, a "pitcher" can't just start faking away just because he's stepped off the pitcher's plate. If he's "acting" like a pitcher, he can't fake to home regardless of whether he is or is not in contact with the pitcher's plate.
