More than a year late, but yes, they did. In the Light Novel/Web Novel, he reveals during his meeting with Subaru in the capital (in private) that he is from Japan, just like Subaru is. This fact - that somebody else had been summoned to the world - is an important plot point, though I think it isn't until perhaps well into Arc 5 that Al gets more screentime.
