Yes, this is commonly done in OSM. Generally speaking, anything with a footprint and some kind of roof can get a `building=*` tag. In most cases people tag it as `building=yes` but you could really just make up anything for the tag value. `building=riverboat` or `building=train_car` would be fine.
`building=no` is the only one (afaik) that downstream consumers need to watch out for.
