10:1 compression @ 6k feet

I have a question about running 10:1 at altitude (6k). I am using stock cast iron heads, and also want to run 87 octane gas. One shop said no, but another said yes- because it will act like lower compression IE 10:1 will act like 9:1 at this altitude. He also mentioned if I go to sea level I’ll need premium.
Is there any truth to this?
Thanks,
s/t
