Yeah, it has been working that way for at least a year. But there are 
several disadvantages to not using a build system, most notably (from the 
top of my head):

   - No automatic dependency management.
   - No command-line builds and tests.
   - Builds are not easy to reproduce on a different system. Unless you 
   include the IDEA files in version control. But then you’ll get tons of junk 
   in commits.
   - More or less the same as the previous one: being dependent on a 
   particular IDE.
   - No ProGuard caching (as in https://github.com/pfn/android-sdk-plugin).

Perhaps there are others that I didn’t remember and/or list here. The only 
advantage I see is that one doesn’t have to learn SBT (which can be hard, 
but is rewarding in terms of productivity). Anyway, I’m convinced that in 
2014 a build system is a must :)
Just my 2¢.
