No, it's not.
Yes it does--Question 82.
Look, I'm not trying to be a wise ass, but duty is defined as the time you show with the intention of flight, not anything else.
Question 82 deals deals with Supplemental rules.
Please refer to Questions 40 and 41. Its right there in black and white; deadheading or classroom is duty.
"Q-40. Can I deadhead on Day One and be scheduled for flight duties for the next six days?
A-40. No. The flight crewmember could not be assigned flight duties on the seventh day because the seven-day period does not contain 24 hours free of duty.
Q-41. Can I be assigned four days of training followed by three days of flight duties?
A-41. No. As in the above example, the seven-day period did not contain 24 hours free of duty."
