By the way: GDP measures of a country’s economy are measuring the total value of the finished goods produced in a given year, sold to the final user. The intermediate steps you listed don’t count. So the mv=qp formula doesn’t directly translate to gdp growth. It’s just an accounting identity over the intermediate sales of unfinished products.
