As an example, I am looking at a ceiling fan box that says that it is
rated
for up to five #12 wires.

Does that include the bare ground wires that will be going into the box,
or
is it just the conducting wires (such as the black and white wires)?

Each circuit conductor entering the box is counted once. All the EGCs
(ground wires) together count only once.
