Yes, indeed, Birkhoff-James orthogonality is an orthogonality in the sense of Rätz. A proof appears on p.36 of
J. Rätz, On orthogonally additive mappings, Aequations Math. 28 (1985), 35-49.
The argument there is a refinement of the proof given on p.188 of
K. Sundaresan, Orthogonality and nonlinear functionals on Banach spaces. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 34 (1972), 187-190.
Since it is a non trivial proof, I just refer the interested reader to the above papers.
