If I have Magmortar with the "Magma Surge" Ability, does it place 3 total damage counters for Burn between turns?

No, this is an additive effect, so during Pokemon Checkup each Burned Pokemon takes two damage counters for Burn and three more damage counters for Magmortar's "Magma Surge". For example, if there is a second Magmortar, Burn would do 2+3+3 for a total of 8 damage counters.
