Yup. The intention with Hibiki was to create a rider show unlike any other. The creators were quoted as saying they wanted it to be the Amazon of the Heisei era.

When the project initially started, Toei had just scrapped plans to make a Ninja Araashi reboot, which would have meant no rider for the year. But that entire project was scrapped in favor of starting over from scratch with Hibiki. And so all the love and attention of the staff was poured into creating this surreal rider show unlike any other before it, and honestly since. He's intentionally very different.

But don't ever believe the false rumors that it was not intended to be a rider from the beginning. It was 100% supposed to be a rider series from the outset. The confusion comes from the pre-production of an entirely unrelated show (the Arashi reboot) that never took off.
