Based on a look at the trope-page, I don't see why not.
The only caveat that might be raised is that the trope doesn't seem to cover species moving over their own accord. Thus humans migrating naturally to a new location likely wouldn't count, while humans sent or taken to a new location (even if by another group of humans) would, I think.

"species moving over their own accord"
I think this happens often enough to be notable too.
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
If so, then I'd suggest that it's perhaps a separate trope to Introduced Species Calamity.

If the effects are similar, I don't think it would warrant a separate trope.
The effects are similar, but the causes are different, which can affect how those effects are portrayed and seen. For example, an introduced species was put into its environment by a third party, and thus at least some narrative responsibility for the resulting calamity might be placed on that third party.

still too subtle to be a separate trope, imo.
The trope is about the calamity and the cause, not the cause's cause.

Well, I see no reason to not agree to disagree on this: To my mind the difference is salient enough to make for separate tropes, but unless we're discussing whether to make a new trope page then I see little purpose to arguing overmuch about it beyond sharing our perspectives.
That said, I do think that if we go with your definition then your original question is more unambiguously answered with a "yes": there is a living or living-analogous group introduced to an environment, and this results in a calamity.

Can Introduced Species Calamity count:
- humans themselves being the species?
- "constructed" lifeforms like robots or artificial monsters?
