2) If it is, is it deducted from the total segment count of 20?

Surface segments are permitted on a OWE. They will count as a stopover (which only matters in your continent of origin).
149N STOPOVERS
150N ----------
151N .
152N . 1. A STOPOVER IS A BREAK OF JOURNEY OVER 24 HOURS.
153N . 2. STOPOVER PERMITTED ANYWHERE.
154N . 3. MAXIMUM 2 STOPOVERS PERMITTED IN THE CONTINENT
155N . OF ORIGIN.
The reference in the starfiles is about ending your OWE - origin to destination surface is permitted in the middle east.
110N . 4. ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURFACE PERMITTED:
111N . -WITHIN COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.-BETWEEN U.S.A-CANADA
112N . -WITHIN AFRICA
113N . -WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAST
114N . -BETWEEN HKG-CHINA
115N . -BETWEEN BANGLADESH-BKK/SIN
116N . -WITHIN SOUTH AMERICA
117N . -BETWEEN MAYLAYSIA-SIN
Surface segments do not count in the 20 segments allowed in a OWE.
