This specific study used samples of fabric rubbed in the skin oils of various people and then indexed which fabrics attracted the most mosquitos, most reliably, so while it may not be a guarantee that all mosquitos feed at the site they're most attracted to, I wouldn't think it's quite that big a leap... I imagine that they feed at the first known-good-human, generally speaking.
They also specifically call out that there are "low attractor" humans who simply don't generate as much of the carboxylic acid compounds that the mosquitos were attracted to, and who may still be bitten, but were not he preference.
People definitely react different to bites, though. I know plenty of people who don't really feel much of an itch, vs others for whom it's awful.
