Not really. The result of key creation is a public/private key pair. It
doesn't matter where the command to create a key came from. The output
is stored locally in this case. And the output would be different anyway
if invoked a second, third etc. time, no matter where from.

Host keys are usually created automatically the first time the sshd
starts. IIRC you only created user keys manually.

Tino.
