Yes, this is something that noobs get caught up with all the time. Effects are part of the song, no differeent than an instrument. To the computer, it's all digital bits. The fact that we can see those bits as different things is simply due to the ability of the programmers. To the computer, bits are bits including the effect producing that reverb. Therefore RB is correct your song is not 112 bars, it's 114. That means the analogy to a tape recorder only goes so far. Those old analog terms are only there to help you make the transition to digital audio.

In a real studio all the tracks are first recorded dry for just this reason. They don't want the reverb as part of the track on the original master tape. It's up to the engineer and producer to add that later so if they think the verb should fade out faster they simply ride the effects fader on the console while they're mixing the song. If you really want to do things the pro way, you record your stuff the same way. Record the tracks dry first in Biab, add the effects later in RB. Noobs can't stand that because the raw tracks sound like crap. Don't worry, they're supposed to. It's having the ability to use different effects during the mixdown process and not be locked into what was originally and incorrectly put on the track is what separates the pros from the wannabes.
