Yes.

I'm after getting a key made as my RCL doesn't work and the guy I spoke to today said that it may be that it's had a drowned ECU at some point, if it has then the VIN in the ECU may not be the same as what is on record for key coding purposes.

Is the VIN I'd get up on screen one taken from whichever ECU is fitted to the vehicle or is it just written to the instrument cluster?

If there were VIN mismatches across different control units, it would be made obvious when you turned on the ignition. You ought to ask about this in a separate thread. There are plenty of people who can give you advice who may not read this particular thread.
