It pretty much comes down to how people see Anime. If you are one of those people that think Anime is a style and any animation company can make anime, then I can see how people could see RWBY as an Anime.

However if you are someone that believes that Anime comes only from Japan and any animation that is made elsewhere is only Anime-styled animation, then to them RWBY is an Anime-style webseries. There is no right answer because in most cases you will get different answers depending on how the person you're asking sees Anime.
