Yes and no. The content is indeed xhtml but an EPUB file is a package. 
There is the xhtml content + metadata + structural information (table of 
contents, etc.). These parts have to be in the right folder with due 
links. The whole has to be compressed in ZIP format. (Think of the Open 
Document format that OpenOffice.org produces, some mydocument.odt, also 
a ZIP package.)

You may write xhtml content with Amaya, take an existing EPUB as an 
example, unzip it, replace the existing content with yours, edit the 
others files accordingly with the help of some information over the EPUB 
standard, and zip everything again. There you are: you made your own 
EPUB with Amaya.
Producing not only the content but packaging it automatically into EPUB 
format, is something more specialised, that Amaya does not do at 
present, as far as I now. You could consider using Amaya to write the 
content and some other software for the packaging.
