Not sure there is only one right answer here. Perhaps by definition there is one, but from a players POV does it or does it not contain current bets before it gets to you?
My opinion is that it does contain the current bets ahead of you.
The pot bet button will add you calling, then the raise will be the pot at that time. The example tos gave is a bit wrong in that he didn't add the call before the raise. It should read;
$200 in pot before round of betting.
Villain 1 bets $50
Villain 2 calls bet of $50
Hero calls $50, AND raises $350
Pot is then $700.
And that would be the POT BUTTON raise. Only the first to act will get the exact pot sized bet in.
I'm asking this because some sites have pot size bet buttons and others don't. Some pot bet buttons are set for what was at the beginning of betting. I was wondering if players took time to figure out what was in the pot or did the lazy way.

I think mostly it is a "lazy" thing for people. In the majority of cases a 2/3 to 3/4 of the pot is a much better sized bet for accomplishing your goal.
