The option exists everywhere. The lots actually work as rentals only in destination worlds.
It doesn't require a mod, either. I made a 'rental' lot last night on Sulani. I eventually changed it to a 'generic' lot after discovering that my Sim couldn't rent it, but it probably would have worked the same. You can still live there for weeks without losing your regular home. The only downside is that other Sims can enter the house. (I gave it the 'private dwelling' trait - not sure how much effect it's having, but no one has bothered my Sim while she was in the house. I only discovered that other Sims had been there when one of them left a glass of water on the table.)
In any case, it's been very useful as a base camp for Indiana, who is trying to get all the collectibles. One suggestion before you take your Sim there: put a boat in her inventory. You can buy them from BB while you're there, but you can't put them in the water or drag them into your Sim's inventory because they don't 'own' it. So, if you want to fish from a boat, you need to have it before you go. (It took me a couple of Sim days to find a fishing sign on the volcanic island - I bulldozed the residential lot on the island for her base camp.)
