I believe the original question has to do with the effect of monitor
gamma choice.
The answer is no, whatever number you decide is middle gray has
nothing to do with which monitor gamma you have chosen to use.
Photoshop will display that gray the same on a 2.3 gamma monitor or a
1.8 gamma monitor assuming your color settings are correct. It knows
via the monitor profile how to adjust that gray before sending it to
the display.
Leaving the rest of all this aside, do not rethink gray numerical
values because of monitor gamma choice.
