I would not consider that a "ghost run"
"Ghost runs" were those were you were in Phuket, Bangkok and never left, although ur passport went to Malaysia ( either the border for a stamp in an out or Penang for a new visa) an back
Many people use a "helper" at poi pet but they still travel to the border just they physically dont leave thailand but their passports go upstairs, across the street, back upstairs an back to you
