yes you are correct, here in NY / USA...with DID each alter has their own way of being, its own way of perceiving itself, those around them and the world at large, they have their own behaviors, speech patterns, clothing styles, memories, ... everything that makes up a persons personality of who they are right down to having their own jobs, purposes and reasons for being.. so much so that here in the USA there is a diagnostic criteria about this, and is the very first thing mental health treatment providers must look at when diagnosing someone with DID.
