in short, yes.

every variable can be different between different dimensions and universes. this is a major concept in most if not all sci fi / fantasy settings that travel between them. Rick and morty for a prime example, they only travel along the "finite curve", aka out of the infinite alternate universes and dimensions, only a mathmatical curve of universes created Rick and he was smart enough to make a portal gun. This curve also states that both atoms and time behave the same way in every way in both source universe and destination. The universe with the farting butts shows traveling to other dimensions is not only possible, but easy for a rick, but a universe where carbon can not bond with oxygen (a universe where human breating could not happen) would not be opened by the gun.

This also puts SOME constraints on the writers.

The finite curve causes things from the original dimension to be incompatible with aspects of the alternate dimension?

the short version as i understand it is "anything that could kill rick instantly or can not be used as a plot device as it would kill rick, unless killing rick is part of moving the plot forward with a way around the death for the character of rick."

that last part is a new exception to the rule due to how the april fools day episode worked.
