For questions like this, it's always best to look at the authoritative source for the format of various OpenPGP data - RFC 4880 :) From the way I read section 5.5.3 (Secret-Key Packet Formats) and then Section 3.7.1 (String-to-Key (S2K) Specifier Types) it would seem that the answer to your question is yes, the S2K count is stored in the secret key packet.
