Yes and no, for servlet everything is done through the 
io.undertow.servlet.api.DeploymentInfo class, that allows you to build a 
servlet deployment.

For things above the servlet level handlers are just wired together 
directly. The io.undertow.Undertow API is my first attempt at providing 
an easy to use embeddable API, it was never intended to be used by Wildfly.
