I undertook a number of tests and found that the displayed time did not include the count in time.

However, for very short songs (4 bars), the displayed time was longer that the actual time of the song, including the count in.

There was variability depending on the style and tempo and song length.

Regardless, for the purposes of knowing the duration of the song, it was always within a few seconds, so provides a satisfactory representation for most purposes.
