Origin mostly matters for which contacts you start out with and which DO's/SO's you can use. the former can matter a bit (sucks if you start out with a contact that gives you mobs resistant to your damage) but appart from that it really doesn't make an ounce of difference.

The simple answer is no.

Although origin restricts which class of SO/DO you can use (enhancements for your powers) all classes contain all possible SO/DO types. To the best of my knowledge there are no items in the game that are, for example, only available for magic characters or whatever. I'm not 100% sure, but I think all the story arcs are available to everyone too, although you might get them from a different contact for different origins.

Origin is more important for roleplay purposes (writing of backstories etc) than anything else really.
