Yes and no! Not by the normal and strict definition of counting where you sit there going "one, two etc..."
An inference is where you deduce a conclusion from some known facts/information.
So counting in this manner is not an example because there is no deductive process involved (there is no reasoning involved).
Here is an example (not of counting) where there is reasoning: if I told you that x was greater than y, and that y was greater than 0, then you could infer that therefore x was greater than 0. You would have taken the information (the evidence if you like) and reasoned some further piece of information from it. You would have inferred something!
So, finally, let me give you an example where counting perhaps could be an inference. Suppose we know that there are x number of stars in another galaxy. And suppose there is also some scientific evidence which suggests that the average number of planets orbiting a star in this galaxy is 2. Then we could inferthat there are 2x number of planets in this particular galaxy. (Note: we might be wrong about that; an inference does not necessarily have to be correct!)

Is 7 a counting number number?
7 is a counting number. But I am not sure what a counting number number is!
What is the product of a counting number and itself?
That's the "square" of the number. With counting numbers, the square will always be another counting number.
If a number is a counting number or the opposite of a counting number then it's an integer?
Yes, and including zero.
What is the 10th number if counting by 12?
If counting by twelves, the tenth number will be 120.

6.7010000000000005
What are facts about inference?
There are no fact about inference. It is something that is implied but not stated directly.
What are Facts about an inference?
There are no fact about inference. It is something that is implied but not stated directly.
Does an inference come before an observation?
An observation is something that can be seen with your own eyes, and an inference is something based on face. Therefore, an inference does not come before an observation, but rather after.
How do you inference and predictions differ?
Inference is based on something while prediction isn't. Inference is based on logic or statistics, something reasonable. Prediction is a way of telling the future without a basis.
An inference is something that is?
not directly stated.
What is something that is not directly stated?
inference
How is 23 used in everyday life?

If a number is a counting number or the opposite of a counting number then is it an integer?
A counting number is the numbers you lear as a little kid, counting numbers are one and up. Integers include the counting numbers, 0, and the opposite (negative) of counting numbers. So yes, a counting number or the opposite of a counting number is an integer.
