Yes.
The Alexa services are specific to the Alexa platform. You can create skills but they can only be invoked via an Alexa client (eg Amazon Echo).
Amazon Lex and Amazon Polly give you the building-blocks to create your own voice-based service and do not require integration with the Alexa Voice Services platform.
Your own application can request Amazon Polly to generate speech in an mp3 audio and your application can pass an audio file to Amazon Lex to determine intent and user input.
