No: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_assistant/#manual-setup-if-you-dont-have-home-assistant-cloud

Although I use this instead since it's local: https://github.com/t0bst4r/home-assistant-matter-hub

I guess it depends on what OP is trying to do. If they want to expose (non-Matter) devices connected to Home Assistant to Google Assistant (which is what I assumed based on their message), then they would need one of the options I suggested above
