It's a fully guranteed roster bonus. Now, if it wasn't guaranteed, you would be right and it would be paid only if he is on the roster. But writing the guaranteed money as a roster bonus only changes the way it is paid and accounted for.

Then it is not a roster bonus?

A roster bonus is a bonus that a player gets because he's on the roster on a specific date. Every offseason you hear of players who get cut - i.e., they are removed from the roster - before roster bonuses are due because teams don't want to pay roster bonuses.
