Thank you Tim,
I guess that's why RPM prepends the BuildRoot to the %file section automatically. Totally make sense

It always gets installed based on the paths you specify in the %files
section. If you specify /usr/bin/foo, that's where the "foo" file or
directory will be installed when you use "rpm -ivh" or whatever to
actually install that packages on the target system(s).
If your %files section uses /usr/local/bin/foo or /opt/MySoft/bin/foo,
then that's where "foo" would get installed.
