It's being released as individual chapters in a magazine called Ultra Jump.

Typically that's how manga works. A magazine will release chapters. When there are enough chapters and if the manga is popular enough, the chapters get released together as a manga volume. THEN, if those sales are great, the U.S. partners may or may not decided to license the manga for English. Typically a full year goes by between the original release of a chapter in Japanese and it's English-released publication.

Considering that RWBY is originally American, I wonder if that will be an equally long delay, or if the Japanese and English volumes might release simultaneously.

Ultra Jump's publisher, Shueisha, co-owns VIZ Media, which is one of the companies that releases English versions of manga in North America. So, if you want to see it in English, contact them.  I'm not sure what kind of contract they have with Rooster Teeth, so I don't know if contacting Rooster Teeth would help... but it wouldn't hurt. :)
