No. The aquatic kind of spiracle (such as you'd find on rays and skates) could be located only on cartilaginous fish, or the most primitive of the bony fish. The loosest definition of spiracles seems to include a respiratory opening such as the blowhole in whales; lobsters do have ventral openings to the gills but these are anatomically dissimilar to those. (Also since lobsters are aquatic, they do not possess spiracles of the type you'd find on insects.)
