Indeed. Distance from body of water, size of landmass, hemisphere, ocean currents, etc. all play a major role in the climate.
Consider that all of Germany is at a higher latitude (closer to the pole) than Invercargill at the southern tip of New Zealand. And all of Scandinavia is at a higher latitude than the southern tip of Patagonia.
