Does casting off count as a row?

When you cast on stitches with the cable cast on method, the stitches are on the left needle at the completion of the cast on. The right side of the cast on is facing you, and you don't have to turn the needle around to start the first row. Therefore, knit the first row to avoid the bumps.
