In a way, yes...
Your audio system expects a mass-storage device, the Pi does too. This
means they both act as USB hosts, and you can't connect 2 hosts
together.
You'd want the Pi to present itself as a mass-storage device, while
playing its mp3fs trick over FLAC files that are in reality stored on
the SD card. The only Pi device that will perhaps do that is Pi0 (and
0w?) which are AFAIK the only Pis that support USB OTG (Linux calls that
"usb gadget mode").

I'm clearly not the specialist but I think you need to be a hero to try
doing something like that. Plus large µSD cards are expensive.
