Is it correct to say that

In general, "native to" is used when you want to say that the subject is a natural part of the surroundings such as the "species is native to".

The Komodo dragon is large lizard-like animal native to the islands of Indonesia.

I am a native of LA. (actually better to say I'm a "local" or "Los Angelan") :wink:

Show business is native to LA.
