Not quite. The reason I posted the link to the statute was so you could
read it for yourself. If you had you would have known that there is nothing
in the act which limits it to companies "based" in the US. I'll try again:

The short answer is, as long as a company's actions restrain "trade or
commerce in any Territory of the United States" (regardless of where the
company is based, they will be subject to the act.
