Yes many of your bones have holes to allow blood vessel & nerve intervention as well as the interior of many of your bones are very spongy and therefore have holes that do not actually penetrate the surface of the bone, and are like little air pockets (only without the air) Many of the holes that allow veins and such to transverse them are termed "foramen" For instance your spinal cord enters your skull through a large hole at the base of the occipital bone. This hole is called the mental foramen. Plenty of tiny holes are found all over your bones and then there are obvious ones like the eye sockets (which allow the optic nerve(s) to pass to the brain) These holes make up the orbitals.
