B5/B5M blue 2mm washer. Part of the ackerman/camber link angle or not?

Hey guys. Just need to sort out a little confusion about the blue washers placed under the ballstuds. When I read setups, and its says 2mm shims are on the steering rack, does that include the blue washers? This is how I run 2mm shims at the minute, but just had a thought that the washer is 2mm aswell, couldnt find a definite answer, for what is probably a stupid question haha
