If I buy a game (or a bundle) from a store like fanatical and then redeem key on Steam will it be counted as a Linux buy? Sorry for my bad english.

In the end it does not really matter. Even if every purchase you made was counted towards Linux, the numbers would still be small. Valve knows it and the developers know it. So whenever they choose to support Linux, it's not because of the current numbers, it's because they believe in the future of the platform.
But that only applies to purchases on steam, not key activations. I don't think those are in the purchase stats at all.
