They count as having moved because Deep Strike is a form of movement. It takes place in the movement phase. LOL. How much plainer can it be?
Deep Strike is not a form of movement. It's a form of Deployment.
Skyleap is not a form of movement. It's a method of removing the models from the table and placing them in Reserve.
'It happens in the Movement Phase' does not make it Movement. Otherwise, Death or Glory suddenly becomes 'movement'... and therefore illegal if the model has already moved that turn... something that is also not supported by actual rules.
Likewise, if 'removing from the table' in the Movement phase counts as movement, you would be unable to remove casualties from a failed Dangerous Terrain test. This, after all, happens after they have moved... but still in the movement phase.
