Yes, but if there is no on board graphics, there will be no video, but yes, the computer will still run.

Actually, many PCs will NOT run without some sort of video display device. The BIOS expects a video card, and failure to locate one will cause the system to fail POST and refused to boot.

Some PCs (mostly servers) have a specialized BIOS that avoids this problem, and instead outputs the display via a serial port or (more commonly now) a specialized Management Controller chip. These systems no longer need any sort of video card to boot.
