No they won't - you'll also be on a different server (Asian not American), sorry. Still, borrow the game anyway and think of it as practice for the real thing - that's more important than levelling up here believe me (it's always nice when an RPG prioritises skill over hours grinded).
On the plus side that means you'll be able to gain the trophies for it TWICE (if you're into that sort of thing...).
