That's dithering, absolutely. It fits well with the overall theme of the picture as well, which seems to be some kind of stylized Game Boy vibe. In a lot of new pixel pieces I see, that's about where it stops.
In the hands of a skilled pixel artist it can be used to extend color ramps, add texture, build depth, etc.
In this picture[0], exocet not only uses dithering to really stretch a limited palette of six values for the skin tones, it's even used for little easter eggs (find the heart!). An extreme example, of course, but still highly enjoyable IMO.
