It is in a sense, but it lacks certain basic information like spelling that we traditionally associate with written language. In this way, it's kind of like calling a recording of human voice a form of language notation. So, it is indeed a form of music notation, but it isn't at all equivalent to standard music notation. Along with tons of other things - like no differentiation between a staccato sixteenth note versus a sixteenth note, no indication of many other details that are fundamental to standard music notation. For example, a key feature of Western music notation is that C# and Db are different notes, notated differently because they have different implications even if the sounding pitch is the same. The point here is that while it does contain musical information, it lacks much of the information that we associate with the term "music notation".
