Yes, you can use any Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer (SBC) as a controller or peripheral for another computer or PC.
The Pi can be used how a microcontroller would have been used in that role. But the Pi doesn't have to be used as a microcontroller - using what's commonly called "bare-metal coding". It can run its OS and use programming languages, capabilities, and peripherals, to achieve what is wanted. That can make it much easier than programming an actual microcontroller, can allow it to do more things, or do the same things but better,
You can build things like the 'elgato stream deck' with a Pi SBC by using an LCD screen and physical buttons, or you could use an LCD touch screen.
