No, you should do a debian package first (see some previous post) in your home directory or any another good place and send it to another N900.

Without debian package you definitely will loss configuration and some pre/post installation procedures. Actually, that procedures are written in your friend device (in /var/lib/dpkg/info directory) but much easy way and much reliable way is - recreate .deb file (again - see some post before). Debian package will include anything which is needed for application.
