If I recall correctly - as part of the messaging protocol between merchants and card associations is the tag "Card not present" (ie it wasn't swiped/chipped at a terminal and card details manually entered in). It is by using this field that banks determine a transaction to be online. This is independent of a retailers MCC.

Anything through Google would be Card Not Present so should count as online.

If you are using Google Pay to purchase an item online with the same MCC, then yes. Otherwise, no.
