Foreign hours count
The FAA minimum for a private pilot certificate (Certificate, not license) is indeed 40 hours. The national average is about 65. The 40 hours are divided into a variety of specifics. For example, if you have 65 hours, but only two of the required three hours of night flight then you are not ready for the check ride.
See FAR 61.109 for the specifics.
