Yes, it is possible. The format for VES geometry data is inspired from
collada format.  Its basically is bunch of arrays with metadata on top of
it to describe necessary information
for opengl to extract pieces out of it. You can find an example on how to
draw a plane here:

You should be able to add new primitive (vesPrimitive) using the same
vertices to draw lines as well.

Hope this helps.
