This depends on what you're asking: if you want to know whether you can build the structure exclusively out of OSB sheet goods, the answer is no, not if you want it to last more than a year or two. OSB is very stable in the plane parallel to the surface, but the edges do not take fasteners well. Years ago I used a lot of OSB 2 x 4 for framing stage decking, but I'm not sure that product is manufactured anymore.

OSB sheathing is used for walls and roofing over traditional 2x lumber, and I think you'd still want to clad the exterior walls with wood or vinyl siding, for durability if not for aesthetics. And you'd certainly want to use a standard roofing material (shingles, corrugated metal, corrugated plastic, roll roofing--all dependent on the roof pitch).
