No they wouldn't be transhumans. They are humans and every lore book you read refers to them as such, even the orks call them "oomies". Being genetically engineered and enhanced does not make you transition out of your species. This is incorrect etymological usage.

I draw your attention again to similar gentically engineered or modified products being under the same definitions. Thus I am forced to point out that this just happens to have been added in 2017 june, a time where the real life politics of the same name, gained traction and now seeps into anything that people will let it. This is an insult to my intelligence.

"Superhuman" also does not in any sense lend itself to something that could be comparable to "transhuman" as they are totally different in nature. "Superhuman" is still human and not in any sense in the process of transitioning out of the species. "transhumanism" is not at play here, genetic engineering is and they are not the same school and in any case, its real world politics.
