System PATH has nothing to do with which configuration files are read by sqlplus. When launched, it searches for oracle.key file under bin folder and uses whichever regisrty home is pointed to in the file. If TNS_ADMIN is not defined in the registry home or as a system variable, sqlplus uses configuration files pointed to by Oracle_home in the registry.
