Google is trying to make the case that interfaces aren't 'code' here. That's the entire case here, right?

Yes. I just wanted to clarify that code that "compiles to nothing", e.g., build instructions, may still be copyrightable. Therefore, I do not think that Page wanted to extend his definition of "non-code" to anything besides interfaces/declarations.

No. Previous case already found APIs can be copyrighted. This one is about fair use.
Unless that claim about interfaces becomes crucial in some unforeseen way.
