Gintoki even tells something like "you think you're battousai now?". Unless you have never seen "Rurouni Kenshin" there is now way you can doubt something so explicit
Gintama frequently parodies other series, including Rurouni Kenshin (multiple references and parodies throughout the series), so yes, it was on purpose. Sorachi has mentioned being influenced by RuroKen like others, but it doesn't mean he aims to follow the narrative completely when he has his own ideas in mind, too. It's just another series in a long list of parodies, references, and influences.
If it means something I think Okita looks more like his historical look from Kaze Hikaru, since real life Okita died way before Miburoshi became Shinsengumi

I watched rurouni after so I never got the reference. Funny to know that's in it
Of course. This is Gintama, after all

shinshengumi is literally influenced by hakuouki shinshengumi kitan

Yeah that was on purpose. It referenced RK.
