You're right about the power supply. The clone is using an AP2112 3.3V LDO Linear Voltage Regulator. It's good for up to 600mA.
In your photo it looks like the inductor below the chip is just there for show. I can't see it connected to anything and the LDO doesn't need it.
At least they have left off the Raspberry Pi logo, but probably should also remove Raspberry Pi from the name.
As long as the RP2040 is genuine (and it works), it'll do. RPL will still make money from the sale of the RP2040.
