The INPUT chain is for packets addressed to the firewall itself.

The FORWARD chain is for packets going through the firewall to some other 
machine.

Destination NAT is performed in the PREROUTING chain, which comes before 
either INPUT or FORWARD, therefore it is the "real" destination which 
determines whether a packet traverses the INPUT or the FORWARD chain.
