No, I don't believe that conclusively proves that Snape is DD's man.
At that time BC Jr. thought that Snape was DD's man, regardless of
whether he was or not. BC Jr. was also enemies with many of LV's
supposed devoted followers simply because they did not give up as
much as he did in order to see his master return to full power.
They "deserted" LV because they were too cowardly to face the
consequences of their actions as Death Eaters.

So even if BC Jr. knew that Snape was still a death eater and was
still somewhat loyal to LV, he would continue to see him as an enemy
because Snape did not go to Azkaban and give up his life to help his
master return to strength. In BC Jr.'s opinion he was the only true
and loyal follower and most of the rest were his enemies.

That is why at the Quidditch World Cup he sent the dark mark into
the air to scare away the "death eaters". All he felt was contempt
for the "wannabe" evil-doers.
