Now the real question: Do people living in basement units in the developed world count?

I would argue yes, and this would easily raise the number by a few tens of millions.

They have to do more than just sleep underground. They would need to do some work or eat or something else other than just have a room that is underground.

According to the resolution in another question by @cloudprism, yaodong residents count as underground population and they number in tens of millions.
