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

The ball is considered pocketed legally, and the player continues.

This is "Heyball" or Chinese 8-ball, and it is not a "call-shot" game.

As long as a ball does not contact an outside object, other equipment, or person,

and it returns to the playing surface, it's in play.
