Yes you do have to pass a medical for each jurisdiction to hold that jurisdiction's medical certificate.
I was granted a HKG licence based on my Australian licence, not my medical certificate, in fact my Australian medical certificate had expired some years before. So for 20 years I did a medical for my HKCAD licence, my Australian medical was never renewed although my AME could have done it for me at the same time, for an additional fee, as he had approval to do medical exams for numerous countries.
But back to the original posters question, neither the HKCAD or the company should be aware if you in fact even hold a medical certificate from your originating country, its not their business.
