This is interesting. Ajttja's home page has a FIDE rating listed. I wonder how he came up with that number if he doesn't have a FIDE rating.

If I played the same FIDE rated players twice would it still count as two games v.s. FIDE rated players?

Look for you name on the FIDE website to see if your games against rated players in OTB tournaments have been taken into account.

You need to score at least 1 point against 9 FIDE rating players in a 2 year span. If you don't complete 9 games with at least a point against all FIDE rated players, you have to start over. 

I believe that's only 5 games now : they changed the rules last summer.
