No. If you are using applicationCSS you only get CSS-Support but you are
not able to change the CSS-Theme as easy as it is possible with the
Theme-Stuff beside people can't contribute their CSS-Snippets like they
can with CSS-Themes.

There's no theme manager setup for you in case of applicationCSS - it is
really only for very simple RCP-Application who want to be as simple as
possible (e.g. no fragment contributions, not using commands, ...)
