Yes, unused grid edges are counted. In the IB example, this is shown with the '5' clue.
For your 4x4 example, a clue on R1C23 would be 2.

In parallel counts, when there is a clue outside the loop that can see the edge of the grid, is the unused grid edge included in the count?
For example, for a 4x4 grid with a loop around R1C1 only, unused edges in R1 are R1C23,R1C34 and possibly the right hand edge. Would a clue on R1C23 be 1 (ie counting R1C34 only) or 2 (ie including the right hand edge of R1C4)

Thanks, this helped me in comprehending the rules.
