How could it? It's just a package tool.

Depends on what package repositories you point apt-rpm at. If, for
instance, a repository contains a mirror of the updates.redhat.com
server, apt-get would get the same packages as found on that server.
If, however, the apt repositories defined in your "sources"
configuration files don't include a repository which contains Red
Hat's errata packages, you wouldn't get them. Or if you enable
repositories which contain packages with higher package versions, that
would override the packages found in other repositories.
