Yes and no. At least on the A320/330 you could bank up to 67 degrees. Releasing the sidestick when beyond 33 degrees and the bus would return back to 33 degrees. There are some protections that stop you doing things you really shouldn't want to be doing (High AOA, High speed protections, etc), but for the most part you can fly it how you want.
