I have 2 switches in my bathroom.  A Pro XPD3-IW for the lights and a WS13A for the vent.  I have Active Home Pro and a CM15A.

Here is what I want to happen.  When I turn the light or the vent on via the hardware wall switch (just pressing the switch on the wall)  I want AHP to know that it happened so that I can fire a macro.

When these switches are pressed to they 'report' that they have been pressed?

These are both only "1-way" switches, i.e., they respond to X10 powerline signals but have no transmitting capability and don't send out a signal when the button is pressed.

Leviton, SmartHome, and perhaps others, make switches that do transmit their status, but they are MUCH more expensive than the X10 switches.

I have a very similar setup in my bathroom.  WS12A for the lights and XPS3-IW for the fan.  I also have a MS14A motion sensor.  When someone enters the bathroom, the MS14A sends the signal to the CM15A and both the lights and fan come on via a macro.  The MS14A is set to initiate the off-macro after 4 minutes if it no longer detects motion.

The fan can be turned off locally without affecting macro operation and it does not come on between 10 PM and 6 AM unless its turned on locally.
