I'd say it's more of a "small yes" than a "big nope."

While gravity does vary, it goes from about 9.76 to about 9.83.

All of which does, in fact, round to 9.8

On ISS it's 8.722, but it's constantly falling.

Everything experiences different gravity (and “apparent gravity”) in space. We should pass a treaty of using metric only there, if only to avoid losing more spacecraft.
