Yes, it can, but some limitations apply - most notably, the application cannot be shared. See more here:

It means that the runtime solution cannot be accessed by multiple users. Unlike solutions opened in FileMaker Pro, that can be shared peer-to-peer over a network with other FileMaker Pro users, or solutions served by FileMaker Server.

One more thing worth mentioning:

Does it mean that each user has to buy its own FM to access that FM app along with others ?

Yes.

With FileMaker Server, you also have the option to publish your database with WebDirect, allowing users to access it through a browser.
