Does doing weight training once a week make a difference when you usually train with bodyweight?

Say you do pushups, chinups, and other bodyweight workouts every day. My question is, would doing weight training say once a week make a difference in your strength? Is it worth your time? I know high rep exercises like pushups train different muscle fibers than do the low rep workouts with weight training, so is that counter-intuitive? Can you effectively develop both high rep bodyweight strength as well as low rep training with weights?

Thanks!

Or what im trying to say is that, how do you know if you got good genes for muscle if that makes sense. BEcause me and my brother use to workout in the gym for maybe 4 times a week for like 3 months without really a schedule just lifting some weights here and there without any knowledge of bodybuilding. And right now we are in pretty good shape.

I want to build lean muscle by doing some more strength training, but I want to use resistance bands instead of weights. Is this still considered strength training and will it work my muscles in the same way?
