From what I've read, this isn't true. You do have to be a certain distance from the center of the world in order to encounter starred creatures of certain species, but once you are able to encounter the, the chances are always the same.

I'm not willing to die on that hill, but that seems to be the case.

Can confirm having read this; boars and deer cannot spawn with stars within 800 or 900 meters (depending on your information source) of the player spawn. it is unclear whether other mobs can spawn with stars inside that distance, but I suspect that is an "across the board" rule.
