Bigtime. If I said there are six carbons and six hydrogens, you couldn't know what substance it was. Is it benzene? Is it a straight chain hydrocarbon?

The order makes all the difference.

The molecule will be a structure which has the lowest energy state possible.

Yes.
Not only the order, but there is structure as well.
