Anything in orbit around the earth (all the space trash, ISS, Hubble) is still part of the earth’s mass from an orbital mechanics point of view. The fact that it’s a little further away from center of mass of the earth is an infinitesimally small rounding error when looking at the mass of the earth and the sun.
