Mortgages are almost always paid in arrears (I'm not sure if this is a legal requirement, or just the way it's done).

This means your mortgage payment is for the month just past, instead of the month coming up.

When you pay rent, you never own or have a financial interest in the property. With a mortgage, you will (eventually) own the property outright.

Can homeover's association make your tenant pay rent to them?

I'm no lawyer but... I expect the answer is no, not unless the owner agreed to this in writing. It is common in mortgage contracts to have wording that says the tenants pay rent to the landlord as long as the mortgage payments are on time but as soon as the owner gets behind in payments, the bank can tell the tenant to pay the rent directly to them. So if, for some reason, the owner signed a deal like that with the HOA, then this could happen. Without something in writing, the HOA shouldn't be asking for this.
