Yes, they show up on an AU's credit report. What is the opened date listed for that account on that CR?
If it's the date that you were added as an AU then I'm wrong - it counts the same as a real opening of an actual account. If it's the date that the account itself was opened (which could be years - heck, decades - before you were added as an AU) then you're fine.
