How can they look the same? One monitor is set to 1.8 and the other to 2.2 - if everything else remains equal they should look something like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img407/6302/gammadifference.jpg.
They look the same due to the Display Using Monitor Compensation architecture in ICC aware applications which looks at the display profile AND the working space of the document and builds a unique on the fly preview. The gamma settings within the display and working space profiles have no direct role here in color managed applications outside DUMC in terms of the preview. IOW, ColorMatch RGB with a 1.8 TRC gamma when converted to sRGB with a 2.2 TRC gamma appear the same. In color managed app's. Outside color managed app's they do not. Or sRGB on a display calibrated to 1.8 looks the same on a display calibrated to 2.2 within color managed app's. Outside such app's they do not. Non color managed app's don't know what a display or working space profile are. They have absolutely no idea what any of this means. The condition of the display gamma now has an effect on the preview.

Yep, I've got it now. These three lines are the key:

1. sRGB on a display calibrated to 1.8 looks the same on a display calibrated to 2.2 within color managed app's.

2. Outside such app's they do not.

3. Non color managed app's don't know what a display or working space profile are ..... the condition of the display gamma now has an effect on the preview.
