I have not had any problem of getting and HH points or stay credit when booking Hilton stay through AMEX FHR.
From my understanding is that Amex travel often buy hotel rooms as wholesale rate in advance and sell in on their site. You usually pay Amex directly, in this case it will count as 3rd parties booking, and ineligible for points and stay credit.
On the other hand, booking through Amex FHR, the rate is usually the best flexible rate. You will pay the hotel directly at check out, hence you will get the points and stay credit.
