No - UC will host the ‘Delta Sharing Server’ which is required to enable Delta Sharing. This will be available on AWS during the private preview phase of UC. The following releases will support it on other clouds.

You could use delta sharing without unity catalog.
It is an open protocol for secure real-time exchange of large datasets. There repo at https://github.com/delta-io/delta-sharing also has a reference implementation of the delta sharing server which could be used to share existing tables in Delta Lake and Apache Parquet format on modern cloud storage systems.
