Yes you can :)

VBO - controls where your data is stored

VAO - controls layout and binding (you can have several VAO that points to the same VBO, but in different ordering)

Shaders - are responsible for doing something with the data, they can be used with different VAO/VBO combinations (but that combination must match attribute layout in the shader of course)
