I was under the impression the Chinese room was an argument against intelligence simulation, not consciousness. I think you're right actually. Will edit.
This seems like pretty much Professor John Searle's argument, to me. Your argument about the algorithm being subject to interpretation and observer dependent has been made by Searle who refers to it as "universal realizability".
