The marked pane is server wide.
If your tmux is new enough (built from master or 3.2-rc) you could set a
user option on the pane you started with and then check it in status-style,
for example:
set -p @firstpane 1
set -g status-style 'bg=#{?@firstpane,red,blue}'
Or just check its name, something like (not tested):
set -g status-style
'bg=#{?#{&&:#{==:#{window_name},netkit-vm},#{==:#{pane_index},0}},red,blue}'
