Unlikely. Jaeger / Jäger (hunter) has a variety of meanings, and in
German SF Raumjäger is a Space Fighter  "plane".

Note that in German, when you do not use the Umlaut Ä/Ö/Ü you always
replace it with letter+E (AE/OE/UE) not with the plain letter. "Jager"
is a South German / Austrian dialect variant, best known in the word
"Jagertee", a strong tea with rum.

Possibly, keeping the name for the sake of tradition (like other armies
that still have "Cavalry", etc.) 

A more likely official designation might be "Raumlandetruppen"
(space-landed troops) similar to present-day Luftlandetruppen
(Airborne).
"Raumgrenadiere"  (Space grenadiers) is another possibility.
