Operationally yes, and that is how most of the world does single track with passing sidings - they pass at a station.

That said, they would have to build two platforms, and all the ADA fun that encompasses. Someone somewhere might even insist on an overpass (ADA compatible, of course) because passengers can't be trusted to be responsible with at-grade crossings. You then end up with a monstrosity like this:

The 3 story building-like structures on each side are solely to house ramps and stairs. Nothing useful like ticket machines, vending machines, or an official restroom. An added kicker is the inbound platform is the one that requires crossing all that nonsense.
