No, reinstalls and updates don’t get counted. This is in the linked page: “each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”.

This applies only to iOS Apps. iPad OS and Watch OS isn’t (yet) covered by this Core Technology Fee.

I strongly suggest actually reading the linked page. Most of what you’re saying is clearly and obviously wrong, had you read the page.

"A first annual install may result from an app’s first-time install, a reinstall, or an update from any iOS app distribution option — including the App Store," [0]

So update do counts it just in a year (12 months) install, reinstall and update is counted as one. But once user bought a paid app and installed it then next year if that user update app developer will have to pay for this update
