Does it matter ? How ? What changes ?

Philip had recently married Cleopatra Eurydice, a Macedonian noblewoman, which threatened Alexander’s succession. Alexander's mother, after Philip's death, then proceeded to burn Philip's new wife and their infant son to death. The implications are pretty clear.

He was extremely lucky during later stages of his life, could his father's death be just another convenience for him?

It's almost certain that his mother orchestrated the plot. Whether or not Alexi himself was involved is unknown to history due to lack of any concrete evidence, but you may use your imagination. I personally think he was aware of it at the very least.
