Yes, they're part of the same universe. Probably. Or maybe not. It really rather depends who you ask.
The BBC's Dirk Maggs certainly thinks that they were. And he's got Adams' original notes to back it up:
“There is definitely Hitchhiker’s/crossover,” explains Dirk Gently
adapter-in-chief and director Dirk Maggs. “In this second series there
is one particular idea from Douglas’s notes for the third [unfinished]
Dirk Gently book which at one point he thought might be a Hitchhiker’s
book. It’s a very simple idea that puts one of the Hitchhiker’s
characters in the same universe as Dirk Gently in a way that I thought
had enormous potential.
In this series we find that the characters in
both universes are inhabiting the same world, and I think where we’re
going with this is something that actually resolves later on in
Hitchhiker’s. It’s turning into a bit of a prequel!”
