Salaries here are usually based on cost of living in the employees country of origin, so yes your passport does determine your salary.
That's how ex-pat salaries work; you earn here in order to have more money to send back home. People may be earning significantly less or more than you when you just compare the numbers in Qatar Riyals, but if you look at how the salaries compare as a multiple of what they could get at home, then the lower salary will often be significantly greater.
Whether you think it's fair or not, the fact is that it boils down to the basics of supply and demand;
Someone earning the equivalent of QR 1/hour at home is going to be very tempted to come to Qatar and earn QR 10/hour.
But someone earning the equivalent QR 100/hour at home is not going to be tempted by that amount. They are more likely to go for QR 130 or 150/hour, which is significantly more than QR 10/hour, but as multiple of their home salary it's significantly less.
