  Not if you use plain TeX.  Unlike XeTeX, LuaTeX cannot find or use any
more fonts than pdfTeX does.  You need additional macros, that are
present in ConTeXt, but in neither LaTeX nor (obviously) plain TeX.  You
can, though, use the luaotfload package with LuaLaTeX as well as (I
think) plain LuaTeX, but Khaled should be able to tell you more about
that.
