Desmond is credited along with like 10 other guys. I think it's safe to say that, yeah, he was credited since it is an interpolation of the Bonnie Tyler thing.
As per Wikipedia:
Quote:
The chorus originally just contained the melody, but was reworked in the studio with Leland, Love and Cirkut, where it interpolated Bonnie Tyler's 1986 song "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)", and consequently added Desmond Child to the song's credits as a songwriter.

That claim has two sources, so it's probably not just a personal interpretation.
