Does hydrate (the H2O attached after one complex) count when counting the coordination number of the central metal ?

I mean the nH20 that is attached after the complex (not within the coordination sphere).

No, it is not counted when counting the coordination number. The water is just surrounding the coordination compound. Since it is not bonded to the transition metal, it is not counted in the coordination number.
