Hey Asmita, Absolutely you can create your own VMs from ISOs. There's a drop down box in the templates sections to register ISOs rather than templates.
You can also use various 3rd party sites to generate templates such as UShareSoft's app store: https://www.usharesoft.com/appstore/ You can then white-label it: http://www.shapeblue.com/appstore/ I'm sure there are others as well.

Are there any other templates available ready for use with Cloudstack? I am using CS4 with VMWare. I could see the documentation for adding the new templates from the existing VMs to be done using VMWare. My question is : Is it mandatory to have new templates created from the VMWare VMs to be used again for creating VMs on CS4 admin console? Also, I have ISOs for the Ubuntu and RHEL. Can I use these ISOs to be used for creating VMs? Thanks and Regards. Asmita Patil Vagyani.
