Not directly, no. The only way to get a book into CC's database is to send a format for that book.
There is a fairly straight forward workaround. In calibre, add a small (possibly empty) txt file to these books. Tell CC that it is allowed to receive txt files (CC Settings, Formats and Folders, enable "txt"). Then connect to calibre and send these books. Calibre will send the metadata and the small txt file. From then on, calibre and CC will cooperate to send metadata changes for these books.
And who knows, you might actually want to put something in the txt files.
