It does matter, since airlines baggage policy may vary depending on where the first stopover is rather than where the first segment goes.

Flying IAH-FRA stopover FRA-NRT gets you a different allowance (1 bag for entire journey based on US-FRA) than IAH-FRA layover FRA-NRT (2 bags for entire journey since LH would allow 2 at the beginning).

It's an award ticket, which don't allow codeshares.
