Yes, it is a chemical.
A chemical change. Soap scum is usually found in 'hard' water areas, where there is a lot of calcium cations (Ca^(2+)). On dissolution of soap in water , the oily anion of soap combines with calcium cation , to form calcium sterate (The Scum).
Soap isn't complete dissolvable in the water. That mixed with body oil (also undissovable) begins to build up and form a layer around the tub.

Soap scum is actually what you get when soap combines with minerals in your water which forms a chemical reaction. It is not bacteria or mold but it can be a house for bacteria to multiply and live. Some soap formulas leave more soap scum than others but they don't deposit bacteria or mold. Bleach is a great product for killing this bacteria and scum.
The industrial soap scum remover is highly effective in removing tough soap scum build-up.
Vinegar and baking soda are effective at dissolving soap scum.

ocean organisms.
No, the formation of soap scum is not a chemical change. Soap scum appears as the result of a physical change. Some of the soap and whatever has become incorporated into the soap and water dry. After the water is gone, the things left are from the soap and whatever mixed with the soap when it was "working" at cleaning.
They walked across the ocean on the scum left from when the Germans swam here.
Scum forms when impurities or contaminants in a liquid, such as oils, fats, or proteins, rise to the surface and solidify. It can also form due to bacterial growth or chemical reactions in the liquid.
It is a branch of chemistry which studying chemical processes and chemical composition of ocean waters.
