By definition, yes the thumb counts as a finger. That definition being: any one of the five digits, especially the four other than the thumb. The thumb is merely the only finger to possess abnormal qualities in comparison to the other four fingers.
Finger is also a general term where thumb is the specific. If a person is pure German then they are also pure white, however a pure white person is not necessarily pure German. The digit is a thumb therefore it is also a finger, the digit being a finger does not have to be solely a thumb, or an index finger, or even a pinky.
