I think that the combination of their souls in Asriel's body had some sort of effect on Flowey once he was reborn in that form, at least. Mind you, Flowey has no soul. Not Asriel's nor Chara's. Flowey seems to represent the effect of Chara's influence on Asriel (Asriel probably wasn't plotting anything questionable before Chara came, was he?).

Chara is still a separate entity from Flowey, though. Their soul survived elsewhere, as you can see in the Genocide ending.

Somewhat related note, doing a Genocide run directly parallels Flowey's usage of the save function. He tried every option until the only option left was killing everyone. In a way, you're becoming Flowey- but in doing a Genocide run you become Chara. I don't think Flowey and Chara are the same being, but food for thought? Chara, Asriel, Flowey, and Frisk are very closely intertwined, at least.
