I believe that a "non public use" aerodrome would require either aerodrome=private/military or at least access=private, so aerodrome=international would mean "a public airport/aerodrome that primarily enables regular citizens to hire flights directly to other countries", and to achieve this it would need some supporting infrastructure (immigration, customs, etc.).
As usual in OSM, the aerodrome may be used for other things (say, military operations and private flights). But if its primary function is for commercial international flights, then it would be classified as aerodrome=international.
