probably not, i once did a project where  graphics came from all kind of 
organizations, we ended up with (looking in the final pdf file) quite 
some different lucida clones; the file was a font mess anyway so nobody 
noticed i guess; the same may happen with times  and helvetica

as long as the metrics/kerning match the shapes i guess you're safe; on 
the other hand, i don't trust those fonts to remain unchanged, so i use 
the official lucida's

alternatively you can add to your type-loc.tex: 

\starttypescript [serif] [lucida] [ec]
  \definefontsynonym[LucidaBright] [...] [encoding=ec]
\stoptypescript

in which case you can probably use the existing lbr definition
