Is it possible to build a package with bitbake without poky?

I have all compiled binaries for target machine. I want to create a binary package - say .ipk, .rpm - for target machine. As this suggested to clone poky, which will have bitbake within it. But, as this document says, we can directly use bitbake without poky, however, it not mentioned anywhere that we need poky as well as bitbake to build a custom package. But of course poky is required if we have to compile source code and create binaries.

If I don't need to compile any source code at all, does I need to have Poky?

Is it possible to build a package with only bitbake?

First, Poky is a reference distribution that contains primarily bitbake and openembedded-core.

Yes, you need oe-core to build packages as the logic to build packages is part of oe-core, not bitbake.
