Yes, they all mean the same, the context of each of them in natural sentences can change though. "To be known for" really can be used referring to famous or non famous people, where "renowned for" "famed for" "be famous for" refers to people who are publicly known and famous.
"To be known for" could refer to a rumor or something negative, as well as "famous for" if a whole group/city knows a negative rumor" (slang)
I hope that is more clear instead of more confusing ^^
