No, you are confusing a declared object with an object in the scene. Two 
objects in the scene make two objects in the scene. A declared object is 
not in the scene. CSG objects are compound objects composed of many 
other objects, a CSG object is counted as one object. (unions can be an 
exception to this in some cases)
A scene with two instances of a difference object has two objects in the 
scene. You can declare as many objects as you want, the number of 
objects in the scene won't change.
