You got it backwards, it would be more beneficial in areas with few hours of sun for darker skin folks, since they do not absorb as much Vitamin D as fair skin folk do.

absorb or create?

i understand it as: absorbing is in the intestine, generating D happens in the skin when exposed to the sun

Correct, what I meant was absorbing UV light, that then as you state creates D.
