What you are talking about is called "Life cycle inventory analysis" of and is of course counted in the carbon footprint of a given technology, yes. Manufacturing energy costs are especially important for solar, which requires important amounts of energy for silicon purification and "monocrystallinization" (there must be a more adequate word). Wind power manufacturing costs are on par with other technologies.
