The default movement is some teleporting kind and I've no idea why (probably motion sickness), I switched to full locomotion with the analog stick instantly, so yea you can strafe just fine. You can also choose according to what movement orients (head, hand etc.). 
You probably already know that the game options in SS games are great getting into autism levels, VR options are decent as well.
One issue I noticed (in TFE) is that when setting up on which hand you control the movement/strafing left means right and right means left (or maybe I was just retarded and read the setting wrong, idk)
