I would say so.
Bikepacking is simply a more lightweight, stripped down form of off/road, touring. The rackless style of bags obviously makes more sense as there's less hardware to fail, so less weight too usually, and the idea is that the luggage is more out of the way than traditional panniers... But bikepacking setups can still use racks... Just usually in a different way.
