Yes through rest-api. From the ovirt-shell you could run:

 $ add disk \
       --vm-identifier <vm_name> \
       --provisioned_size <size_in_bytes> \
       --interface virtio \
       --name <disk_name> \
       --format cow \
       --sparse true \
       --storage_domains-storage_domain storage_domain.name=<gluster_domain_name>
