Obviously wrong

Other reason

Sort of.
He has a shower usually means he owns a shower.
He's having a shower means he is currently in the shower.
"Has" is a conjugation of "to have"
"Having" means doing something.
I'm having fun.
I'm having fesenjan for dinner.

That’s an excellent question.
Yes, you are correct.
has+ing = having
Examples:
After he has a shower, we can leave.
He’s having a shower. After that, we can leave.
He has three books (that are) signed by the author.
He’s having three books signed by the author.
Compare to the first person singular:
After I have a shower, we can leave.
I’m having a shower. After that, we can leave.
I have three books signed by the author.
I’m having three books signed by the author.
