Yes I'm aware that the A stands for Atomic in Rust, not Automatic. But it is still automatic because you do not need to increment and decrement the counter manually.
Since = is the same as .clone() in character count?
Why does character count matter? I think you're getting a bit distracted from the point.
Will you need to manually free/release objects? No you will not.

That's irrelevant (and barely different to having to type `=`). The salient point is that you don't need to manually call free/release.
That is more than relevant, otherwise we are comparing oranges to apples, pun intended.
Automatic Reference Counting.
