Yes. A "table" specifically means something laid out in "tabular form" in rows and columns. A "chart" is a very broad term for almost any visual presentation of information that is not just a written stream of words.
The primary meaning of the word "chart" is a nautical map. Because a navigator uses a chart to "chart a course," "chart" tends to carry the idea of "planning or guide future actions." But one actual definition of "chart" in a dictionary, the third meaning listed, is "A sheet presenting information in the form of graphs or tables."

A table is a table.
A graph is graph.
A pie-chart is a pie-chart.
A map is a map.
There is no real point in trying to change vocab you are only going to use once or twice.

Yes, you could call it a chart. You could also refer to it as a table.
