Is PhD considered work experience for MBA?
Nope, a PhD does not count as work experience while applying for an MBA. But many b-school’s ask for work experience. PhD can give you a slight edge when you apply for renowned b-schools due to diversity factor.

Can a PhD student work in a research lab?
All the good PhDs went to work in research labs where using that title is uncommon. Well the answer (as with most answers) is: “It depends”. I have seen PhD students from the same lab joining as senior scientists (that require 5–6 years of ‘relevant experience’) and entry level positions. The reason for this large variation is:
