Hi,
Yes, it doesn't matter who makes the referral. The only difference - if you don't fit completely and they reject you even with the referral, the person from the local office can get the unofficial feedback.

can someone from an X office of Mckinsey make you a referral for Y office of Mckinsey?

Hi,
I can confirm the same is true at Bain - you can be referred online for any office by an employee.
An additional difference, though, is that if the person making the referral has a good relationship with the recruiting team of their home office, this can add extra weighting to the referral.
Hope that helps!
