Is it possible?

Not really.

First, not all home screens offer folders. There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of home screen implementations that ship on devices, let alone third-party ones available through the Play Store and elsewhere.

Second, not all home screens that offer folders offer any sort of API to allow third-party apps to create such folders.
