You definitely do take more damage and deal less damage solely based on level. Otherwise us lowly 31's wouldn't be at nearly the disadvantage on crota hard mode -- level wouldn't matter much. Sure gear matters, but your level inherently changes the math that's done for defense on both sides. My warlock was 3 light away from 32 last time I tried hard mode and I was still getting 3-shot by acolytes at the bridge area.

This is an old, but good, explanation on how dealing damage works, including level for both the player and the enemies you fight.
