The question has "is", so the answer should have "is". When you have "is" in a question, don't change it to "does" in the answer.

Anyway, here's how we do that conversational exchange in English:

— Is she late?
— Yes. As usual.

There is no need to say more words, e.g., As she usually is. Just As usual is enough.
