Are IB internships from another country valuable in getting an IB internship here

I'm an intl student currently at a semi/non target state school. I'm finishing up my freshman year right now and I have an IB internship lined up at a big boutique firm back home in India (non MNC). Would this experience be considered on par with a US based internship or is it disregarded by companies. Apart from the learning itself, how helpful would it be in landing a US IB internship for sophomore year?

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated !
