Tire weights balance each individual tire only. Every tire needs to be balanced, or it will shake(though some don't need weights if they happen to balance out). It has nothing to do with where on the vehicle or which vehicle they are installed on.
Different sized tires on the front vs back doesn't make a difference, either. It only would on an AWD system, and then you start damaging stuff like diffs, so don't do that.
It's possible this person damaged a rim or something, and perhaps put the summers on so they could drive while getting a replacement, and in that case it would maybe make sense to swap 2 wheels. Or they are poor and could only afford 2.
