Super basic question...Setting units in Maya plugin?

I think i'm overthinking this but since Octane works in Meter units, do I need to keep my maya units in meters?

for example, if I have a bottle that is 20cm tall, can I have my units set to CM in maya prefs and just model it to a size 20units? Or do I need to keep maya units to meters and model it .20 units? I noticed that I have maya set to CM and now I'm worried that all my bottles are 20m tall, not 20cm, thus affecting all the lighting and material calculations in unrealistic ways.
