Yes, you are looking for the HAS() function.
=COUNTIFS({P & A - Assignments List | Assigned To}, HAS(@cell, [Name]@row))

The HAS function works for contact type data when you are looking for an exact match. If you are looking for a partial match (such as just last name or something like that), you would use the FIND function.
