Does CultureInfo ever matter here?

I have some code that is generating some warnings:

CA1305: The behavior of 'long.ToString()' could vary based on the cu
rrent user's locale settings.

CA1305: The behavior of 'long.ToString()' could vary based on the cu
rrent user's locale settings.

My software does run under different locale settings but I don't think

long.ToString()

long.ToString()

are ever displayed differently.

Am I correct in thinking it doesn't matter here?

Iterating all cultures, I see that they all output the same thing:

long i = 1000000000000;

foreach (var culture in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures))
{
    Console.WriteLine(i.ToString(culture));
}

long i = 1000000000000;

foreach (var culture in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures))
{
    Console.WriteLine(i.ToString(culture));
}
