Yes.

There's a whole hierarchy of classes for representing any reference
whose upper bound is something other that 1. EObjectEList is the root
of that hierarchy. Things like the lower bound are not absolutely
enforced; clearly a list will start empty and if you want to clear a
list so that it's empty again, you're allowed to do that regardless of
the lower bound. But if you invoke Diagnostician.INSTANCE.validate, it
will complain if the list's size isn't 1 or more.
And of course you can use
XyzPackage.Literals.A__B.getUpperBound/getLowerBound to determine at
runtime the bounds on the B feature of A...
