Does an update to a record via Process Builder "count" as an update to that record?

A seemingly simple question, but useful to understand if trying to update a record daily via Process Builder.  For instance, I want to update a date field on a record to today's date every day (since formula created dates are not allowed for use in Rollups), so if the process itself counts as an udate, it should then be circular enough to do this.  Thoughts/recommendations?

Try workflow field update in multiple intervals.

Hi Bob, 

Yes, update to a record via Process Builder "count" as an update on the record. You will notice that the record's last modified date/time changes whenever the Process Builder updates the field on the record. 

Best regards
