Yes.

What exactly are you having a problem with?  Accessing a CGI script is no
different than accessing any other file.  All of the work is done
server-side in any situation.  You request a script, the server runs it and
sends back the generated data.  TIdHTTP does not care whether the data is
dynamic or static.
