No, the number on the back of the fob means nothing. It's just for you to know which fob is which. The car will not let you program both fobs as #1.
If you use the short procedure to program the new fob, the car will add it as the next unprogrammed number. In your case, it will program it as fob #3. If your car has the memory options, that newly programmed fob #3 will not have access to the memory options. It will be able to lock/unlock the car and start the car, but that's all.
However, if you use the long procedure and reprogram all fobs, you can program one of those fobs as #1 and the other one as #2 so that they will both have memory options. That will also prevent the old fob #2 from being able to do anything with/on the car if someone else comes up with it. You would want to mark the new fob somehow with the fob number that it was programmed as.
