Of course! If it has an installer, run it through Bottles first.
Once done, you can either start the game directly in Bottles or create a non-Steam shortcut in Steam and select the exe of the game you just installed.
I prefer running it through Steam because then I always have access to the latest Proton versions.
Didn't try FF7 but played Alan Wake 2 like this.
I've also noticed that for some repacks it is better to use a different runner to install and then switch to a gaming runner for running the game.
