This tends to be a better source for information like this: /sys/firmware/acpi/pm_profile And since Windows cares for this bit it even tends to be reliable to some level. hostnamed exposes a "Chassis" property on the bus (and hostnamectl will show you this), which looks for both of this files and allows users to override this file. That said, it sounds like a horrible hack to make use of this for turning on/off LVM. Quite frankly, I am pretty sure LVM has no place on non-servers, and should not be offered by the desktop installer.
