Yes, I think you could call it a fractal. The Wikipedia page linked to from the article says that this technique is also called a "random midpoint displacement fractal".

Midpoint displacement is mentioned in The Science of Fractal Images (and the Beauty of Fractal Images), and also in Mandelbrot's book Fractal Geometry of Nature.
