I tried checking if there is a count querying the v:count variable, but then if I find out there isn't, the :normal g@ command doesn't do what I expect (it doesn't executes &opfunc after the motion).

In what way did you check the v:count variable? It should work. Also v:count1 should work, if you like that one better.

In this situation, I'd probably use an <expr> mapping. The mapping should call a function that either sets the opfunc option and returns g@ (without a count, because the count still applies), OR which returns your current map string, with the desired count to g@ inserted just prior to where g@ occurs in the current string.
