Indeed. The answer to your question is: yes. If that's not very useful that's basically because you're not specific enough (e.g. you did not ask where to find them). "Generate a bibliography" is far too broad. It all depends on questions like what format you use for your writing, what bibliography style, etc. BibDesk is mostly geared towards assisting TeX/BibTeX, but it also has support for generic formatting through fully customizable templates. If you're using TeX, then bibtex is the tool, and you don't need anything else (perhaps a style file). Otherwise, you can use tools in BibDesk through its template support (Export, Copy As, AppleScript). And there are various tools (for various text editors) that help you with this. I advice you to first browse through the BibDesk Wiki (see the Help menu).
