When you check the Storage Quota of a mailbox in powershell, you need to check two values.. ProhibitSendReceiveQuota and UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults
In following example UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults set to True, so the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota value can be ignored. Limits set on Database will take precedence.
ProhibitSendQuota : unlimited
ProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimited
UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : True
This example UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults set to False, so the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota is valid.
ProhibitSendQuota : unlimited
ProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimited
UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : False
In following example UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults set to True, so the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota value can be ignored. Limits set on Database will take precedence.
ProhibitSendQuota : unlimited
ProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimited
UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : True
This example UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults set to False, so the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota is valid.ProhibitSendQuota : unlimited
ProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimited
UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : False

Subsun,
What if UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults shows nothing in the value section of get-mailbox cmdlet?

Typically the value is set to either False or True.. Null can be considered as False..

There is a correction..
I have done some testing by setting the UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults of user mailbox to $null. It appears that, even the GUI and PowerShell shows the mailbox limit is set as Unlimited, the actual limit applied to mailbox is from database. Which means Null is considered as True (If any mailbox is set to UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults as null, then the limits set on Database will take precedence.)
