Is there a chance to be approved if my startup is an incubator/accelerator a la YC in another region of the world?

Definitely a chance, but if you want to get into YC you should just apply to YC.
It usually hurts you if you've gone through another accelerator because our bar is much higher. In that case, we expect you to be already accelerated, and we find that many accelerators are actually more of a brake pedal.
