<p>Yes, depleted areas do count. From <a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/StarCraft/scbw_faq.pdf">the FAQ</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Q: If an area has been fully depleted of resources, does it still
  count towards players’ special victory conditions?</p>
  
  <p>A: Yes. For
  example, Jim Raynor needs to control six areas containing gas and/or
  minerals; this includes any area that has a printed gas or mineral
  icon on it.</p>
