The dealership told me I needed a new alternator because my engine was making a loud noise and they said that it was going to fail any day now. Soooo I got my personal mechanic to do the job at half the price and now my car is driving sooo much better. My question is does it really matter whether or not a car part is a Toyota car part compared to another manufacture?

Not really, so long as you didn't go with the very cheapest brand. They tend to fail prematurely compared to better brands
