Yes. But...
You can "compile" applications into .sav files which will run using the IDL
runtime engine. The IDL runtime engine is included with IDL and IDL would
have to be installed on target machine. RSI may license runtime only
versions of IDL which would allow you to install only the runtime engine at
a reduced cost but, I am not sure.
There is also the ability to compile a stand alone application which
requires no runtime license and is called embedded IDL. But my brief
conversation about this led me to believe that this is a very expensive
route not suitable for people in the .edu or .gov world.
