Yes it is. The reason Bacillus is motile is because it is an aerobe. This means it thrives on oxygen. Inside the agar, oxygen is limited and usually it will move toward the surface where it is more oxygenated. Motility of Bacillus depends on the incubation time, environment and preparation of the agar. If all the other tests point towards Bacillus subtilis, you should be just fine.

Is Bacillus subtilis a photoautroph?
Bacillus subtilis is not a photoautotroph.
What are marphology of bacillus subtilis?
Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium. It forms endospores that are resistant to harsh conditions. It is motile due to its flagella and forms biofilms in certain environments.
