I’m fairly sure Tononi said multiple times that IIT implies a simulated brain would not be conscious. I’m not sure how this affects the Chinese room, but it seems plausible it would work by simulating a brain. Then it wouldn’t be conscious.
Why does this follow? The simulation still has states and information that can be integrated.

What matters for IIT are the physical states of the computer which runs the simulation, which are very different from the brain it simulates.
