The Google Update can be disabled (per product) via Group Policy.

If you want to manage Chrome updates on your own, use the msi installer.

Is there a way to disable it on versions of Windows that lack the Local Group Policy Editor?
Group policies are just a UI for certain registry keys I think? I imagine you could do this in regedit, but I can't tell you the exact key name.
No idea, sorry. There are ways to install gpedit on Windows Home, but the articles I've seen include some shady download.
