No.
The world that he lives in gets to hear about it. If the world that he lives in is not in close contact with the world that we live in we would not, just as it s unlikely that a guy in a farmstead in the Transvaal would recognise the name or achievements of Einstein.

No. No more than to draw the conclusion that if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it it makes no sound.

By the same token why assume that a product from Mozambique should automatically NOT be of a satisfactory quality, and the delivery times and support available was acceptable, and at the right price?
To do that is simply racism.
What is it that you are so afraid of in accepting that you are just as good, not in the least inferior, and not one iota better than the guy from the DRC or from Nigeria or an Inuit or, well, anywhere?
