Sure is! I've got android on eMMC and Linux on SD :Smile (mostly because I know I will be switching Linux builds a lot)

Great, so is it easy to install some boot loader? What about performance of Linux on SD?

No, I physically remove the SD to have the unit boot into android. A bootloader is a bit of a tall order at the moment - with everything related to the PB in its infancy. But I can imagine that the community and Pine will be interested in exploring this possibility in the future. 
Regarding  running Linux on SD; if you have a Pine A64+ board then you know what to expect. If you don't, then its considerably less snappy than on eMMC but its not a bad experience.

So if there is an SD card present with system, then it boots from it, if not, it boots from eMMC? This is how it works? It is good. I do not have any A64 yet, so I do not know these elementary things yet.

In principle yes, SD has boot priority.
