I haven't ever used any previous releases.
May be the attached image will provide some help.

The first line is marker line with "font marker". Data defined override is set to:
to_string( @geometry_point_num )
So every marker is printed as its number.

The second line is marker line with "font marker" and data override set to:
to_string( @geometry_point_count)
Instead of printing total count of markers, there is symbol 'A' or any other symbol chosen in font marker style. So data override doesn't work for this expression.
Output preview in expression string builder shows '1'.

Please test with QGIS 3.4 - QGIS 2.18 reached it's end of life.

Tested in QGIS v3.4.4

First. If marker placment is set to "on wevery vertex"
@geometry_point_count shows total number of visible points
If marker placment set to "with interval"
@geometry_point_count shows just letter "A" or something else, chosen font's marker properties

Second.
This variables names are very confusing.
This variables show not the gemotry point count or number, but marker's count or number curerntly visible on canvas.
