Given the 'quality' of the Strider that was explained away with the story, yes, it's still a hack / bootleg even if it's of their own game.
Even if said things were made in Capcom's office, it was clearly made by somebody with no understanding of the game or code or anything else, it barely even works and is full of bugs from because whoever did it had no access to the original gamecode and missed a ton of protection checks.
Just because something happens within a company doesn't make it official.
