Judging by the "four little rules" mentioned above, it would qualify as being a story. Unlike Legacy, Dimensions has a rigid storyline involving three characters finding the macguffins to defeat Vortech, while requiring the Doctor's help on occasion, as well as a standalone story level solely focused on Lego 12th Doctor & Clara vs Lego Missy. Legacy had an overall plot, but its focus on storytelling was too loose, as well as the inclusion of too many RPG and changeable elements, to be considered canon/ a valid source. Other elements such as the Dimensions game being made of LEGO is purely a stylistic choice, and the regenerating minifigure is an Easter egg similar to the Eternity Clock's hats and is irrelevant to the plot.

However, we'll have to wait until the Doctor Who Level pack is out. Although I don't see any major concerns in the game so far, if the level pack outright disregards continuity (i.e Clara is permanently killed off, there's a new companion inexplicably retconned into the TARDIS, etc) then it's save to slap on the "non-canon" tag.
