No. It cannot be dodged, for instance.
It does count as a use, however, for things like Shotgun and Chainsaw.

Just curious,
Why shouldn't it count as a strike? Why can't is be dodged?

Because damage from retainers does not constitute a strike. Dodges
only negate the effects of a strike. Only Minions get to strike, not
retainers. Damage from retainers occurs during the strike resolution
phase (only the first such phase in a round, though).

Q: Please explain Wolf Companion.
A: Note: All of these also apply to Murder of Crows except [c]:
a) The Wolf's damage is not a strike, and therefore cannot be
prevented by Dodge.
b) Combat Ends will stop it, since you never reach the damage-
dealing part.
c) It only deals damage at close range.
d) The Wolf does its damage each round of combat, but not during
"additional strike" strikes.
e) Its number of lives depends only on the skill of the recruiting
vampire at the time it is recruited; if the skill changes later,
the Wolf doesn't change.
f) If the vampire goes to torpor due to a First Strike with
aggravated damage, the Wolf does not do its damage.
...
Q: Is the Ghoul retainer that same as the Wolf companion?
That is, if I attack do I have to use its ability?
A: Yes.

retainers do not have strikes in combat (otherwise they would be able to dodge)
