First, you did not create the counter in Platform Designer. That's just a parallel I/O component you show in your system design. To add the counter as a component in Platform Designer, you have to turn it into a Platform Design component using the Component Editor, specifying the HDL file and setting up the interface(s).

Second, I'm not sure how you are creating that block symbol (.bsf). How did you do it?

See this training to learn about the component editor and the standard interfaces used by Qsys/Platform Designer:
