I'm not entirely sure why your entire metric for benefits being considered being part of your pay is "does the government acknowledge it?," but if it makes you feel better....
Section 9002 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3590enr/pdf/BILLS-111hr3590enr.pdf) requires the inclusion of the aggregate cost cost of healthcare as paid for by your employer added into your W2 as of last year. But, fear not, the government doesn't tax you on it.
I still don't understand why the metric for "is this part of your salary" has the seemingly bizarre big-government-esque requirement of "does the government want you to tell them all about it."

It doesn't, it somehow became part of the argument for it being a wage.
With that said, the new HCR reg is not for taxation purposes, but for individual mandate purposes, similar to the form I get from my insurance company in MA.
