it is true that the only thing that matters is graph topology.  it is
also true that graph topology cannot be separated from the actual
topology of the surface.  dimensionality of the embedding space is
irrelevant -- topology of the embedded surface is quite important.

you should be able to extract the topology of the graph from any
embedded surface upon which it can be drawn and vice-versa.
