Also, I assume that once the message has been 'archived', it no longer counts towards quota?

HSM != Archiving (for that def).

HSM just moves the message data to different disks. So older mail can live on cheaper disks. It still counts against quota and can be moved/deleted like the rest of the mail by users.

We are working on archiving which will handle the use case you propose. It will be included in a future release.
