Don't you play people of the same skill regardless of server because of how match making works?

Ladders show relative skill not absolute. That is, it indicates your skill relative to the other players on the ladder. So, short answer, no.

From my experience on the KR Server the overall style is more aggressive - that tends to expose holes in your build that you don't get to know when you play in a calmer surrounding.

So I wouldn't say that Koreans in the ladder are per se better, they just tend to punish a player who's used to sitting back with too few units/not enough defensive measures and tries to quickly get to his money combo.

That also forces games that rely a lot more on micro than I'm used to, coupled with the fact that playing from germany creates quite some lag for me I simply gave up and focused on EU (and US where I started a couple of days ago).

I will get to know the korean ladder when I'm there <3

from my personal experience korean masters ladder isn't that hard and i'm around the same level on ladder as you on NA. the one thing you have to keep in mind is that korean playstyle is that if they see a weakness, they will immediately go for it (i.e. a weak wall-in with only 1 supply depot will be baneling busted) whereas on NA players tend to do their own thing and macro up. if you learn how to play safely it isn't so bad

Korean ladder is indeed hard, but I can't really play it because of the horrible delay. 4 gate battles are an insta-loss for me and ling runbys are almost impossible to stop.

But their ladder is indeed much, much harder than any other server (FFs too late)

Also, oh my god Korean 2 rax is so deadly just because their stutter step micro is absolutely insane.
