Nope, Interex can take no credit for any part of the OpenVMS Hobbyist program.
Interex membership isn't even listed as qualifying here:

There's more information on the history of the program here:
http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/openvms_history/hobbyist_history/index.html
As you can see, DECUS (which became Encompass) and the DFWLUG (which became
the DFWCUG) started the program and still maintain it.

Indeed, we shall. I've talked to the people behind the scenes and am pretty
sure I know what I'm talking about.
