Netflix says it lost 200k subscribers--but I have to wonder, is that 200k people who were paying for a subscription, or is some percentage of that number actually people who were sharing an account, stopped watching when Netflix started threatening people who share accounts, and are now being counted as "lost subscribers" (because Netflix expected them to start a new account)?

It's fewer total subscribers. The real number is the entirety of the miss (predicted 2.5m higher subscriber numbers - 700k loss to Russia + 200k actual drop = 2m less than expected).
It means new subscribers are now outnumbered by cancelling subscribers for the first time.
