Yes and no ;-)
That is the SCF energy, the energy from the QM calculation. This
energy is influenced by the presence of the MM atoms, so in a way you
can say it does include /some/ of the QM/MM electrostatic interaction
energy. However, the QM/MM interaction also has other terms, like van
der Waals and bond terms, which are not included there.
For more details, see:

J Comput Chem (2008), 29 1019–1031
