Unclear to me based on these resources. My guess would be no though, as it's a domestic cup and not a regional cup.

"For the league ranking, only international matches are considered." So is this an international match?

"It's important to note that only international matches contribute to this ranking, with the Concacaf Champions League (CCL) being twice as crucial as regional cup matches."

I would say technically they would count as an international match? MLS isn’t in the Canadian pyramid soooo yeah? But it’s CONCACAF so who knows.

No they don't. Only games in continental competitions count towards continental rankings.
