Yes, elevation above the gravitational center of the earth matters. The farther away, the less gravity. Thus, you weigh less in Denver than in Miami.

In addition to what alikasam said, gravity differs depending on the density of the rock (or sediments, or whatever else is there) beneath you. It is a common technique in geophysics to employ a gravitometer to check for differences in gravity and then calculating what could be underground causing the anomaly.
