Yes it is the rank over the polynomial ring. Houw could it be the rank over the rationals ? Note that x and y do not belong to the rational field, but the rank depends on the rational values you associate (the zero vector has rank 0, the other have rank one):

sage: J.substitute({x:0,y:0}).rank()
0
sage: J.substitute({x:0,y:1}).rank()
