Though you could say the same if WE transport has units inside within end phase. I suppose there is no actual rule, but I would hazard to make a guess that the intention would be that it would not count.
WE transports and the loaded troops only count as the same formation during the action of the WE transport. The rest of the time they are considered separate formations.
3.1.3, 4th paragraph, emphasis added:
Formations that dismount in this way may not take an
action in the turn they dismount, but are allowed to either
shoot or fight in an assault if the war engine that was
transporting it is able to shoot or assault. In both cases, the
war engine and the transported units are
treated as a single
formation until the shooting attack or assault has been
resolved. The war engine and the formation that
disembarked are treated as being separate formations once
the war engine has completely resolved its action.
