in general answer is yes, but that really depends on what kind of system do you want to get data into elasticsearch.

Yes..you can store your data in kibana from any server. I am assuming that you have already setup Logstash-\>Elasticsaerch-\>Kibana setup at your end.
Now you need to install Filebeat on your application server (If its Linux machine) or Winbeat (If it window machine). Because Filebaet is log shipper and it will send your application logs to logstash. You can follow the below documentation for Filebeat 7.4.0 if you are using different version of kibana then you need to follow same version documentation:
[Filebeat Installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-installation.html)
Hope so it will give you some idea.
Thanks.

As you are saying that you have installed Filebeat on server from where you want send logs to kibana. Now you should have file `filebeat.yml` which have `output` option for elasticsaerch and logstash. You can use one from them depend upon what are you using at your end. If you are using logstash then you can use logstash.
Please read the documentation it have very clear information.
Thanks.
