Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

There doesn't seem to be a setting in the sychronize tool in the Book panel to synch layers, but you can synch master pages, so it's maybe possible you could do it through a back door.You can do some experimenting.

Layers are document wide, so if you change them on any page they change for all pages in the document. Try adding or editing a master page in one file, set it as the synch source, set the synch options to master pages only, and see waht happens. Do this on a test book, NOT your working project until you know what happens.
