No, but latitude affects how long it stays dark. For example: At 90 degrees latitude,

either north or south, the sun will set and stay down for 6 months, then will rise and

stay up for the next 6 months.

Yes, latitude indeed affects how dark it gets. For example north of the Arctic Circle there is no night or even twilight and latitudes slightly below the Arctic Circle experience a night-long twilight.

Why does it get dark around five o'clock in December?

In Patagonia it does not get dark at five o'clock in December. Indeed the time it gets dark in December is determined by your latitude North or South. The further north you are the earlier it gets dark. This is because the axis of Earth's spin is inclined in respect of the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. In December the area round the North pole never gets light.
