Not exactly.

A normal rap battle just features two combatants rapping, with nothing else happening, except for maybe a royale or a third party

A story battle is when the characters tell a story through rap format. In Trump vs Scrooge's case, it told the story of Christmas Carol through the use of rapping ghosts, with every character representing a different ghost

However, a "story" battle doesn't have to take place around a pre-existing story.

Basically, it tells a story using certain characters to represent certain ideas or other characters

...I think that makes sense...?
