You always want to get it right, but, in my opinion, it's more important when the offended team is getting the ball under their basket. In your case, you're inbpounding in the BC, so it's not as big a deal.
Depending on whether or not the opponent is pressing, it can make a difference in backcourt as well. I personally prefer to inbound on the baseline against the press (dont tell my opposing coaches!).
Oh, it's make a difference. But it's a huge advantage to a team to inbound the ball under their own basket.

At least, that's what a coach told me once.
