I am not a psychologist, but every time I've come across priming it has been presented as a short-term phenomenon caused by temporary brain activation. I don't think what you're describing could be called priming.

But I have heard of some results along those lines. For example, if you learn something in for example a classroom, you are more likely to remember it on a test given in a classroom than in (for example) a church, and vice versa (link to study). And this even generalizes to people who learn something in a red room recalling it better in other red places (link to study) That makes effects like the one you describe sound possible, though I don't know of any studies of it directly.
