No he would not. But no mater what you call him, if he is any kind of
quaified pilot, as opposed to a passenger, 61.57 does not apply. Because
61.57 is about carrying passengers.

If he ever intends to fly with passengers in the future, he may not use
three takeoffs and landings during a flight carrying non-required persons
or property to meet his currency requirement. That's pretty clear.

What you are saying here doesn't make any sense at all. The intent of
61.57 (2) is to allow somebody in an aircraft which requires more than
1 crewmember to regain their currency. For example, you have a non-
current pilot in a jet certified for more than one crewmember. He
cannot act as PIC per 61.57 (1) (talks also about aircraft for more
than one pilot). However, if he wants to regain currency, 61.57 (2)
allows him to act as a PIC of the aircraft in order to do his three
touch and goes, and allows to carry the required crewmember. But he
can only fly if the purpose of his flight is to get current.
