WEIRD (Western, Educated, individualized, rich, democratic) culture is very different from other cultures around the world, so someone born into it would be very different from someone who migrated.
One relevant difference is that WEIRD culture is more likely to play fair with a set of rules, and non WEIRD culture is more likely to subvert them. There are socio-economic reasons of course for this difference but it highlights the fact that yes, the two people you mentioned are different in ways that will affect the culture of society.
