Yes. Ketostix just indicate the presence of ketones, not if it's body fat or dietary fat being used. It doesn't matter the source, though--if you're eating less than you need, your body will have to tap into bodyfat as well.
Also, the stix only indicate ketones that have spilled over into the urine. Ketones build up in the blood first, and then are used...for a lot of low carbers, after a few weeks their bodies get efficient at using ketones and they won't have spillover into the urine, at least, not at a keto-stix detectable amount.

Actually, it's not the high fat that will induce ketosis, but rather the low carb. You can do a low fat, low carb diet and easily be in ketosis.
