Is that still applicable considering Sony is a Japanese company?

They are not a "Japanese company." Sony is a massive corporation in the US. Any company that wants to do business in the US needs to setup US-registered entities. There is no question of jurisdiction here.

Unless Business Insider has Japanese assets or employees that Sony could go after under Japanese law, yes.

Ok, so they could sue non-US sites reposting the hacked information I guess.
