No, they are taking the $$$.
I suspect that the fact that the flight departed means they get out of all compensation obligations - because it wasn't cancelled, and you weren't denied boarding (since you could have boarded without baggage they'll probably claim you chose not to board).
If anyone can correct me and confirm that you can successfully claim denied boarding compensation if you are denied-boarding-with-baggage, then I'm happy to be proved wrong.
Reports are that BA are offering nothing (no hotels or assistance) other than refund or rebook on another date.
