I'm only a beginner in Japanese so I might be wrong, but I don't think that's correct. (Or am I missing a joke?)
バッチリ means "perfect" or "fully prepared" and it's an adverb; 日本人 means "a Japanese person". I can't find anywhere stating this phrase means an illeist.
One way to say that is just 一人称を名前で呼ぶ人, which means "a person who uses their name as their first person pronoun."
- kazinator 5y agoバッチリ日本人 means "100% Japanese person", "typical Japanese", "nothing but Japanese", "totally Japanese", ... Search for it, in quotes. The joke is that everyone Japanese refers to themselves using grammar that is identical referring to a third party, sometimes even by using their actual name. (Though it's not a grammatical third person, since there is no such thing, and semantically it is understood as a self-reference.0
