No, if murder is equally morally wrong in both worlds (same caveat).

I can see a possible world where murder is a moral imperative for the creatures within it. I don't even know that we have to go to our imaginary world to make that one stick. For me, though, the answer would be no in both cases. I think that our moral responsibilities must follow us wherever we are if they objectively refer to us. I see it as a change of venue, I suppose.
I’m not sure how you can have a moral responsibility to a possible world with radically different moral strictures from yours. I agree that you carry your own moral responsibilities with you, but that’s not really the same thing. In order to be morally responsible to a world that has radically different morals from your own, it seems like you’d have to abrogate your moral responsibilities.
