'In lieu of my absence' is a phrase, not a sentence. As a phrase, it is grammatically correct, and could form part of a sentence, although it is not easy to think of such a sentence. It means 'Instead of my being absent ... ' So, how about 'In lieu of my absence, you have my presence!' as a jocular exclamation made by someone who turns up at a meeting for which s/he has previously given an apology for absence.
