Yes. The fact that you can do it, does not man you should do it. Sometime need to build HTML programmatically, for this reason web2py provides a OOP server side representation of the DOM so that you never have to manipulate strings in the controllers.
You can use this to build forms but you do not have to. Often it is better to use form=SQLFORM.factory(Field(...), Field(...), Field(...)) and then customize the form in the view.
