I have contributed to a repo without an "hacktoberfest" topic to it. Will my PR get count?

Hi! Below is a snippet from DigitalOcean's recent statement about the changes!

"We will honor all valid pull requests prior to this change, and as of October 3, 2020 at 12:00:00 UTC – and October 3 in all time zones – pull requests will only count toward earning a T-shirt or planting a tree if they are submitted in a repository classified with the ‘hacktoberfest’ topic. The pull requests will also need to be merged, approved by a maintainer, or labeled as ‘hacktoberfest-accepted’ in order to qualify. The deadline for completions, merging, labeling, and approving is November 1."

Thanks :)

Hi Gracie, I did my first 6 PRs one the 1st October itself & the issues were labelled as hacktoberfest. And 5 of them was merged too.
So are those gonna be counted?
