Yes, its just like in martial arts. The student bows lower to the ground than the teacher and the student must both initiate the bow and wait for the teacher to finish bowing before standing up again. If Obama went to Japan then him and the emperor should bow to approximately equal levels. In Saudi Arabia, he bowed to the King and the King smiled.
