If you have an image asset with thumbnails, this tag returns a count that includes both of them. If you want to only count images, a good want to do that is to use the MTAssets and MTSetVar tag like so (it loops through MTAssets - which only returns images, and not thumbnails - and increments the $asset_count variable which you can then use):

<$mt:SetVar name="asset_count" value="0"$>
<mt:Assets>
   <$mt:SetVar name="asset_count" op="++">
</mt:Assets>

# Assets: <$mt:Var name="asset_count">
