If I got a one-year immigration ban from one country will that show up for other countries or haunt me in the future?

The guidelines clearly state not to ask for advice on how to break the law, but the good news is that I already did it. I overstayed a visa, mostly due to COVID19, and reported myself to the authorities after getting a flight ticket back to my home country. They waived a fine under the condition that I voluntarily accept a one year ban from the country, a fairly generous move on their part honestly. What I want to know is whether this mere one-year ban will follow me across the globe and into my future. Before COVID19 I was a frequent traveler and I would like to be again once it is safe to do so, but I am worried that I will have a black mark on my "permanent record". Does such a record exist? Should I have just paid the fine?

Any input or advice from immigration officials or people with experience on the wrong side of legal immigration would be greatly appreciated.

To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
