I would like to know whether we can customize Sharepoint Online (Office 365) home page? Previously on MS Sharepoint 2010 & 2013, we can customize the masterpages and have our preferences Intranet portal, but I wonder this could be done in new version Sharepoint Online?

Yes, you can still apply your own master page in SharePoint Online! But it is no longer recommended! Microsoft is frequently rolling out updates that you'll miss out on when not using the built-in master page. Microsoft is on a journey towards a fully responsive design with the new modern look. You would bypass this on sites where you have applyied your own master page.
You should instead focus your efforts on client-side customizations. For example by registering an alternate CSS file and registering custom JavaScript code to manipulate the DOM. Then there is also the new SharePoint Framework that enables you to build and deploy client-side customizations in SharePoint Online. It is 100% client-side and will also not support a custom master page.
