Yes.

If you have read the vscode-cmake extension docs
https://vector-of-bool.github.io/,
you would have seen that there is no generator required, you can choose.

Consider another example:
if you use Visual Studio 2017 with its CMake integration [1],
you don't have to limit yourself to VisualStudio/MSBuild generator just becasue
you use CMake inside Visual Studio. You can use Ninja too.
