"A Room for Two" is widely accepted as a yuri manga.
This only confirms that any close relationships between girls is considered yuri by yuri fans. Yuri is not exclusively about lesbians
This is correct. This story is by all meanings and purposes yuri, but yuri by Japanese standard has never exclusively been about lesbians, that's why you also have words like gachi yuri, rezu, GL to make the distinction for you.
Now whether Kasumi and Sakurako are in a romantic relationship or not is another matter, which frankly, I don't think they do even with how much I like the manga. I mean, Sakurako is gay af and she clearly likes Kasumi that way, but even in the story there is a very clear distinction between their relationship and of the other pair who actually have a physical relationship, and plenty of times they both denied it.
Not that there is anything wrong with their relationship, but I guess it's hard to not feel a bit unfulfilled about it sometimes considering how uneven the relationship feels, and by not putting a label on it, there is also no promise of commitment.
