Yes, you can use the JPEG2000 drivers directly on each band .jp2 file. The 
SENTINEL2 driver automates retrieval of metadata, grouping of bands of same 
resolutions and mosaicing of tiles of L1C and L2A products (which can also be 
done with gdalbuildvrt).

You can also compile the driver code as a plugin against older GDAL releases 
(works at least with 1.10 or later)
