Does the run count?

Assuming the batter did touch first so that there is no option of an appeal play there, yes it does. It really doesn't matter if the batter touches first before the tag of R2 as to whether the run counts or not.
But if the shortstop had thrown to first, there would be no question of the run scoring or not. So the coach will probably have a chat with him.
