Yep. When I speak German I use the voiceless velar fricative [x] (Scots 'ch') in "ich" but when in Hildesheim/Hannover I got told I spoke more like I came from another part of Germany (forget which). Sometimes you hear the Germans using [ʃ] (English "sh") for "ch" like in "Schottland" or even for "ich".
