Nope. If you get a complete (the kind that you pay for) bike fit they will give you a print-out of all your angles and measurements and preferences. You can take that to any bike shop and they will (or at least should) use that to help you choose a bike they stock.
Kinda like getting all your inseam, hips, rise, waist measurements and drape preferences from a seamstress and then using that to choose a pair of jeans that match those measurements. Doesn't matter if they're Levis or Lucky's or size 12 or size 14, if they match the measurements they match your needs.
And if the salesperson doesn't know their stock well enough to be able to use your fit info, ask for someone with more experience.
