But whether you count them or not, it entirely up to you.

How many of the free books you've obtained have you read in the last year? How long did you spend 'buying' them, downloading them, adding them to calibre, updating metadata, etc? Time you could have spent reading books you've paid for!
Hahaha, I don't know half of that. So very very little in time. I get a few emails every day with free and bargain books. I "buy" 2-3-4 free books a week probably. I read 1-2 books a week, not counting books I edit, many of the yearly total being the free ones. So my time investment is very small for each since I don't know or do the other stuff. Maybe I should learn about it and do it. I might like my reading even better.
