Answer

Yes! mainly that is the difference, I would say that  "aquí" would be a little closer than "acá", as well as "allí" would be closer than "allá".

We would use "allí" if we are showing a person who is standing away from us something within a distance nearby both of us. 
And "allá"if we are showing a person who is either close to us or away from us something that is far away from both of us.

I hope this is helpful. ¡Saludos!

Answer

Hi Shaimaa!

The difference between "acá y aquí" and "allá y allí" depends on the spanish dialect you are speaking.
In Spain with don't use the word "acá" So we use "aquí" for "here"

In Spain "allá" = "there" = a general location
and "allí" = "right there" = an specific location

Answer

Como dijo Cynthia.

Acá = here
Aquí = right here.
Allá= there
Allí= right there.
