Homework has no bearing on your grades whatsoever. Teachers try and make you think it does, but it's only because a lot of kids wouldn't do it if they didn't, and if they don't do the work then they don't learn the material and are screwed when it comes to test time. So copying homework isn't a big deal at all, but in a sense you're cheating yourself because you won't learn anything. Teacher's are also supposed to use homework to see if anyone is struggling with the material (though a lot don't follow up on bad grades) so by handing in someone elses work, if you don't get it, you're hurting yourself.
No, homework sharing isn't cheating. But it's bad practice.
