There’s a new digital system being used for VRs and CTs. Considering as you no longer have to submit a VR in order to CT, does submitting a CT to either component still count as a “release” and if so, where can I find a policy to substantiate this?

CAFRA had been in use for some time, just limited to Release Administrators. It is just an administrative tool and doesn't replace the underlying policy which means a CT is release from a particular component.

You can always confirm that by asking the Adminstrative Response Center Contact us about Chief of Military Personnel policies - Canada.ca
 
The digital release system is just a new way to administer the pre-existing policies. None of the policies themselves have really changed.

If you were to CT from the RegF to the PRes, you'd still be "releasing" from RegF service, even if not releasing from the CAF altogether. It's the same as when members release and transfer (CT) to the Supplementary Reserve, technically the member hasn't fully released from service.
If a member is serving obligatory service or a restricted release period, they would still be unable to transfer out of the RegF.

Moreover, while there is a concept of "release as of right" (there's restrictions on this right), there is no right to a component transfer.
