Just to close the loop and provide info for others. Luke provided the following by email:
... To answer your question, if you load a static map with pins that are set with a LatLng and not a location then it will not count as any geocode requests. If you look at this link: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&zoom=14&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C40.702147,-74.015794&markers=color:green%7Clabel:G%7C40.711614,-74.012318&markers=color:red%7Ccolor:red%7Clabel:C%7C40.718217,-73.998284&sensor=false It will only do 1 geocode request because the center is not set to a LatLng so it will need to geocode Brooklyn Bridge New York, NY to a location. If the center was set to something like 60.234,12.342 then no geocode requests would count. ...
