Rex, anything that touches cardholder data is in scope:

The PCI DSS security requirements apply to all system components included in or 
connected
to the cardholder data environment. The cardholder data environment (CDE) is 
comprised of
people, processes, and technologies that store, process, or transmit cardholder 
data or
sensitive authentication data.
