Depends on the area (maybe), but I think it can do either.

It has both.
It also doesn’t have numbers, it has unlabeled columns.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the way it determines how busy places are would be considered a bigger privacy violation than these webcams (which only show people in their areas while Google somehow can report on how busy many arbitrary locations are vs their usual).
