Yes, quite certainly. There is a diagram(∗) of the signals put out by
the common incremental encoder types. As long as the button poll rate
is not too low and if the de-bouncing does not ignore narrow pulses,
you could directly fabricate up and down signals with some logic. If
either of these conditions is not met, you would need to do some pulse
conditioning, making them longer or spaced apart or both.
