Do push subscriptions count as connections?

Push notifications don’t require a device or browser to stay connected to Ably so when not connected they will still receive push notifications. However, as they are not connected they won't count as a connection.

As for sending a push notification via a channel publish, the channel will be activated when a push notification is published to it, so your concurrent (peak) channel count will be the number of channels that you simultaneously publish to.
