Yes it does. Its the same reason why two computers with the exact same hardware does not run as fast as each other. There are different stuff in each phone, and the carriers add their own stuff and edit Android to conform to their liking.

I've hand experience with this since the Nokia days when Android did not yet exist. Nokia rolls out excellent firmware, the carriers turn it to shit, then people manually flash vanilla Nokia firmware and all the lag, crashes and such disappear.

As long as you are on a carrier branded device, its the carrier you must go after for any software issues, not the manufacturer.
