Yes, of course.

Well, it is. For a plane to fill the screen the distance of the plane
to the camera needs to match the size of the plane. Here Gabor set
both to numbers that match each other. Of course this also points the
camera at the plane.

You can use both perspective (the default) or orthogonal projection, if
you wish.

I hope that clarifies things a bit? Setting the camera transform here
is just a alternative to moving the camera using the mouse.
