Yes.  It is possible to light a match stick by rubbing it quickly on a rough surface, to generate sufficient heat for the stick to ignite. 

The surface with flammable material on match box will ignite it much easier.

Demonstrations of lighting up a match stick with out a match box is available in different sources.  You can see that in many movies too.
