Archery Skill increases increase all bow's damage. Arrow damage stays the same (as far as I can tell)
Arrow damage is added to the Bow damage. Not sure if there is an additional multiplier or not.
So, yes, the bow matters, and the arrow matters too. Thing is, arrows, unless there is a multiplier, do not have enough of a damage range to really offset a weaker bow as compared to a stronger one. Instead, what I do is use lower level arrows on weaker enemies, and higher level ones on stronger enemies.
