No. Each language edition decides for itself which subjects deserve articles, and its standards can differ sharply from the others. An English article is not evidence that a company belongs on German or French Wikipedia, and editors there will not treat it as such. Pointing to another edition's article as proof of importance is one of the weakest arguments you can make, in any language.
The gaps run in every direction. German Wikipedia applies fixed thresholds such as employee count and revenue, so a well-covered but modestly sized company can qualify in English and fail in German. A large manufacturer that easily clears those thresholds might have a German article while English editors reject it for lack of in-depth news coverage. French Wikipedia wants coverage spread over at least two years, which rules out companies whose coverage all arrived recently.
What does travel is evidence. The news coverage that earned your article in one language can often support an article in another, and most editions accept sources in foreign languages when local ones are thin. But whether that coverage is enough gets judged again, from scratch, by each edition's own rules and volunteers.
