The Payment of Gratuity can be claimed in accordance with contract of employment/agreement that was signed with you and enactments that apply in such case.
The Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 is Indian enactment and may apply in your case if establishment in India had employed you.
The enactment is silent on location/workstation/HQ town of employee assigned by employer.
The transfer/deputation are part of service conditions and if establishment in India placed/ transferred/deputed you abroad then as per T&C of the service conditions/social security benefits provided to you, the establishment may agree to pay you the Gratuity.
You are right upto the extent that establishment can offer better terms of Gratuity and nothing in the section affects the rights of employee to get better terms of Gratuity..
