Perhaps not:
sqlite> create table bar(x text, y integer autoincrement);
SQL error: near "autoincrement": syntax error
sqlite> create table bar(x text, y autoincrement);
SQL error: near "autoincrement": syntax error
In any case 'autoincrement' doesn't correlate with "feed it whatever
integers you want".
Perhaps you meant 'integer primary key':
sqlite> create table bar(x text, y integer primary key);
sqlite> insert into bar values('aaa', 1);
sqlite> insert into bar values('bbb', 42);
sqlite> insert into bar values('ccc', 666);
sqlite> select rowid, * from bar;
1|aaa|1
42|bbb|42
666|ccc|666
