I used to do the same, swapping between two sets of wheels and I always needed to re-adjust the calipers. Having the exact same wheels should minimize this need.
That's something I definitely run into when switching between mountain and road wheels.

On the front, everything seems to line up perfectly. I think this is more by chance than anything.

The rear is pretty close, but the calipers need a few adjustment clicks to make everything line up correctly. It's not a big deal, but it's also not just "swap and go".
