Yes, but you have to code the whole thing.

I think they meant sprite sheets, as in drawing parts of an image.

You can do just that using Quads. First, you create the quads, then you draw the original image with the quad as the second parameter.

This nifty tool could help u to obtain sprites quads (regions) from the spritesheet and
generate a ready to use .lua file
