What's this about only being able to get paid to fly an airplane with an N-number, internationally?

Not true.

A particular state may require their certification, which is why US pilots working abroad frequently are required to obtain a local certification or equivalency/conversion license, but it's not necessarily true.

The holder of a FAA pilot certificate is the holder of an ICAO compliant pilot certificate. Depending on the legal restrictions where one goes, one may end up being paid to fly the employers aircraft, without a need for additional pilot certification.

So far as providing instruction to a foreign student in a US aircraft, domestically or abroad, the same requirement exists for the instructor to vet the student. Doing so while abroad can complicate that.
