Of course, this depends on what the website counts as "view".

The only thing that is sure is, that the website will count this as a page request, because that is the only thing that happens. Some mechanisms count only one page request per IP address as a "view", other mechanisms (try to) set a cookie and only count different cookies as "views". But as long as you don't tell us what counts as a "view", we can't tell you whether an LWP request counts as such.
