No, EF 6 does not ony support Code First. Code first can be a confusing name. It does not mean that you write code and then generate a db from that. You could in fact both target a new or an existing database using code first strategy. Code first simply imply not using the model designer (edmx) to create and maintain your db-context in your development project.

Some links to get you going:

EF 6 Database first (with asp.net mvc)

EF 6 Code first against new db (with asp.net mvc)

EF 6 Code first against existing db

Ps. Worth noting is that EF 7 (Core) will only support the Code First approach (but of course, as in EF 6, against a new or an existing db).
