Er, no, not exactly. Only players on the Active roster and DL as of August 31 are eligible for post-season play.

However, if one of those eligible players injured and unable to play in the post-season series, then he can be replaced by a player from anywhere within the organization provided that player was a member of the organization as of August 31. (If the replacement player was not on the 40-man roster, he'd have to be added to it in order to play in the post-season, which of course would necessitate removing another player from the 40-man.)
