The news says the USA got 104 medals but does that mean all the medals picked up in team sports, say a team got 8 medals, does that count 8 towards the total or is it just one medal for the team counted in the medal count?

According to the International Olympic Committee, when a team wins a medal -- gold,
silver or bronze -- it counts as one medal, regardless of how many people receive it.

I think they should tab the score as follows:
3 pts Gold
2 pts Silver
1 pt Bronze

If so the score would be:
USA 225
China 190
Russia 155
GB 140

Expecting a lot more bronzes in the future then, I see your point 😕

To be really fair the overall medal tally should be divided by the number of millions in a nations population.

Now let me see:-

UK = 1.016
Russia = 0.566
USA = 0.346
China = 0.087

It means nothing. Another country, another day, all the results would likely be much different.
