Should I be concerned about a possible counterfeit DS game?

I ordered a copy of Pokemon SoulSilver on ebay at a price that seemed almost too good (specifically this one) to play on my 3DS XL. At one point when I was checking the tracking I happened to look at the listing and see the seller updated the listing with "It cant work on 3DS." in large red lettering

I thought that this was likely a sign that the copy was counterfeit and would only work on the older, less secure hardware. I decided to wait until I got the game to check. Today I got the game, plugged it in and to my surprise it booted. I did not get passed the title screen or play any as I was short on time.

If the game is counterfeit what (if any) repercussions would there be?
