Yes, I count omnibuses separately, too. Mainly because I'm likely to read them that way, with long gaps in between each volume. In the case of War and Peace, though, I'm not aware of it ever being split up, so personally I'd record it as one book. Where there might be some debate - Lord of the Rings, Magician, and others - I go by either the original publication, or what my gut tells me. (LotR is 3 books, Magician is 1 book.)
I don't imagine anybody actually cares but me. Do I feel I'm cheating?
