Do the acoustics of a room make a difference in the quality of anything that is recorded in that room, for instance, a video from a phone?

Room acoustics affect everything. But if you set the microphone very close to the source, you can minimize the level of the reflections and thereby reduce the room's contribution.

On the other hand, some artists actually want the influence of a certain room. They record in a place specifically because they like how it sounds there. This is using the room as an acoustic filter.

I totally agree with Wayne. Acoustics will definitely affect the recording quality, but recording closer to your source (mic, phone, etc.) will definitely minimize this affect. Also, it depends on how empty the room is too.
