The NASA Star Finder charts are constructed based on the visible night sky at 34 degrees N latitude, about as far north of the equator as Los Angeles, California.

Yes, they will shift South.
When you observe the night sky from a location further south than 34 degrees N latitude, you will see a different portion of the sky, and certain constellations that are visible from the northern latitude will be lower on the horizon or may not be visible at all. Conversely, some southern constellations will become visible as you move southward.
