Hello everyone, I wanted to ask a question related to RTH, is it possible to mark the sign as a home point to the rc because there is a GPS problem in the area, does this way the return home still depends on GPS?

Yes.
The aircraft needs GPS to locate the homepoint at launch and GPS to find the way back.
Otherwise you're in Atti-mode and flying manually.

Without GPS a DJI drone can not "RTH", said another way, if the drone doesn't know where it it can't find its way home..
If someone is messing with GPS in the area in which you wish to fly then I wouldn't fly there, all sorts of things can go wrong and end up with you losing the drone.
I think one or more of the Gurus here has/have said that inertial navigation is theoretically possible but DJI don't program for that.

Advice for you!!!
The Gimbal is the most delicate item on the Drone and banging or bumping can damage it. I also fastened a short "Remove Before Flight" ribbon to the cover so it's more noticeable and I do not forget to remove it…
Turn on the drone and watch it come to "life." Watching the Gimbal go through its self-check is almost like watching a puppy or kitten opening its eyes for the first time…
Place the drone down (preferably on a Landing Pad) while it finishes its self-test (collecting satellites, etc…).
Check your battery status (Phone, Drone, and Controller), check the Signal Strength, by now the Controller should have reported it updated the Home Point.
Lift off, 6- feet (2-meters) or so, hover a bit, check the controls (move the drone a bit forward, back, left, right, yaw left and right). By now, your Controller will probably report again, Home point Updated.
If you go out in a rush and race thru your start up and take off before the drone has finished it prep, it may update its Home Point over that pond or that old tree you are flying over and in your excitement, you'll fly the drone long past it Low Battery point and when it engages Return to Home and lands in the pond or in a tree; it will be all on you…
Now go have fun, learn to fly the drone by sight before you try to fly it out a distance depending on the video feed, FPV.
I would also advise you to use YouTube and watch a lot of the Videos on flying and setting up the Drone. When it is too dark, too cold, or too wet, you can "fly it vicariously" through YouTube. Also watch some of the Blooper Drone Videos and learn how not to fly your "New Baby."
