This comment is rather uninformed. Greco-Buddhist art was real, yes, but emerged far away from the geologic 'West' -- in Bactria, at the edge of India, where Hellenic garrisons had established a kingdom after the collapse of Alexander the Great's empire. We have very little evidence of feedback from there to the west, and so little potential for Buddhism to influence the development of later Greek society or e.g. Rome. The most we have are faint gestures at how some Buddhists could indeed have been alive in the same place, at the same time, as early Christians. But Christ himself, as far as we know, never referenced Buddha or any Buddhist works, never interacted with a practitioner of the faith (or even referred to one), and all the same applies to the Apostles. E.g. nobody would suggest that Buddhism was particularly influenced by Greek religious thinking, but we know with certainty that Greeks were present in the region due to their service in the Persian empire of the time.
