I wouldn't say he does have a choice, no. He built the shrine because he knew the Outsider was real, and the source of the hand's power. As such, all that stuff is linked. Granny Rags herself made at least two shrines, presumably with her hands, so she's linked to the power they have. As such, the whole thing is interlinked, to Paolo spawns there because that's the most suitable location with a link to the Void (and as Corvo goes to the Void (the source of the power) each time he takes the runes from a shrine, we know it's a strong link).
