Yes. Enabling the sideloaded mode is done by connecting the Kobo to your computer and adding a line to the Kobo configuration file with a text editor. It's a relatively new feature, available for 2 years, so you might find a lot of outdated stuff about this online. Before the sideloaded mode it was harder to use a Kobo without an account, although you could use a throwaway email address. Kobo didn't check that. They're not paranoid about controlling their users like Amazon is.
