Yes and no.

You can set up Squid to forward the request to a CGI program running
on a web server of yours. This is done via a redirector helper
rewriting the URL making it to be forwarded to your CGI script
instead of the original requested URL.

The URL the request is forwarded to does not need to be a CGI script.
It can also be a static page, or any other type of web contents.
Squid does not really care how the selected web server generates the
content.
