My answer to this remains, yes. There is ample evidence in lore and such to suggest that one does not need to use the teachings and paradigm of Conjury to pull off Conjury effects. Magical teachings all simply teach different methods of controlling and manipulating aether. I can see where those teachings would push a student toward using some elements over others, but not where they would flat out restrict the use of those elements by paradigm. Mechanically being a BLM, while ICly putting your effects in the paradigm of Conjury is hardly lore breaking.
while we have witnessed someone using a similar method to Thaumaturgy to create conjury-esque effects (see conjurer questline).
We have not seen anyone do it in the reverse. This is not to say that there are no elementals of Fire, Ice and Lightning that bestow upon someone said magic, however, all we know of the elementals is that they are called elementals and allow someone to cast magic.We do not know if there are say air elementals, earth elementals and water elementals that bestow those elements, or simply beings comprised of those elements, but not in the same way as, say, sprites.
Now, this is all coming from a 2.0 standpoint, and from what i have looked into personally, so this could very well be trumped by someone more lore savy than myself.
