Apparently it is. However, I couldn't think of a less appropriate name for a checkmate pattern than "suffocation mate". It's the defining trait of all checkmates; checkmate = suffocation.

Yes it is a form of suffocation mate because the King had no escape squares and checkmate was delivered by a Knight.
