Yes, it include all users who have used activated their user account in some 
way after 2015-01-01 00:00:00.

Merely reading pages while logged-in usually will not trigger such "touch". 
Logging in, changing preferences, and other actions do set the touch timestamp 
however. Remember that user sessions don't last forever. Currently, Wikimedia 
wikis have a session expiration of 30 days. This means users visiting 
frequently will still "log in" at least once 30 days if they want to remain 
logged-in while visiting.

As included below, I also ran the same query for users active since 2015-03-01. 
This helps to get a sense of the drop off (or "comeback").
