Theoretically yes, the A64 SoC used in the PinePhone has a special bootloader mode called FEL mode, which gives you a special device on the USB port, which in turn allows you to upload code and run it. This can be used to upload a loader that exposes the eMMC as USB mass storage. But I am not sure if that is easier than just using a sdcard to write an image to the eMMC.
