Does Google see this as an inbound link?

Hi,

I'm looking at adding my site to a directory. It's highly relevant to my industry and has relatively good PA/DA.

The external links on the directory uses some PHP code like the following:

Obviously the links works as a redirect but they do not show up in OSE. Would Google count this link as an inbound link?

Thanks,

I can't imagine Google wouldn't take notice of a link like you're describing, if they'd come from an authoratative site. An example: http://jguide.stanford.edu/directory/url.lasso?id=1809&lang=en&url=http%3A//www.fashioninjapan.com/

The server header is a temporary 302 redirect though in this case, which isn't as valuable as a 301.
