Yes why not? If there was any filesystem drivers for the AudioCD format then it could.
I had such a driver for Windows 9x which would display several folders and files for inserted AudioCD's:
D: (cdrom) Stereo 22050 Track01.wav Track02.wav ... 44100 Track01.wav ... Mono 22050 Track01.wav ... 44100 Track01.wav ...
Normal AudioCD players would also work even though this driver was installed. These files were also visible for legacy applications in the command prompt (inside Windows).
I do not see why this would not be possible in Linux. Of course, it would perhaps require a filesystem driver/module to be present when you mount.
If you just want to do a cd file.iso then it may be a totally different thing. Either you would have a automount feature or a filesystem/vfs plugin that could load secondary modules to support this kind of thing.
