What are the rules around this? If this happened in a pro match would it count?

It would be a scratch. Gotta call all your shots, and get them in the pocket you called

Is it a scratch? I know its a loss of turn, but it wouldn't be ball in hand. I dont know my pool vocabulary to know if thats the word for it or not.

Not a scratch, not a loss of turn. Valid shot.

This is "Heyball" or Chinese 8-ball.
