Yes it is.

You can definitely do that, but it won't be taken advantage of by Nessus
and other scanners that use SCAP

The plan is that these checks will have OVAL and remediation scripts in the
future.
It is really a matter of time, effort, and resources. There are tickets
already open for each of them already.
You can see them at
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/projects/7
Getting the XCCDF into SSG is the easy part. The rest takes time.
So if you or anyone is willing and able to help get us there, PRs are
welcome. :)
