I get the error There was a problem communicating with the version server. Please try again in a few minutes when checking for updates, so I've searched about this error and there should be a file named like this, but there's no file called version_check.php inside admin/modules/home, shouldn't it be there?
The file is located remotely on MyBB at https://mybb.com/version_check.php.

It's only that your forum is having issues checking update, So, what's the forum's version and the PHP version? Is the above URL accessible from the server that hosts your forum?
Make sure PHP directive allow_url_fopen is On.
If it is Off, version_check won't work.
Same for file_verification.
