No.

The OID that you send with snmptrap must be the OID of a *notification* object.
(i.e. one defined using NOTIFICATION-TYPE)
   Something like SNMPv2-MIB::coldStart  or   IF-MIB::linkUp

You can't send an arbitrary OID as the OID of the trap.


You can *add* varbinds to the payload of the trap  (starting with the list of
objects defined in the MIB file, and adding any arbitrary varbinds after this
list).   But you do need to identify the notification first.

See any book on SNMP for more details.
