Only in the sense that an "SVI" on the ASR920 is a BDI.  Of course, ports can have IP addresses applied directly to them, but in order to perform switching or VLAN trunking, service instances and BDIs are required:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
 mtu 9216
 no ip address
 load-interval 30
 negotiation auto
 service instance 8 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 8
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
  bridge-domain 8
 !
 service instance 600 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 600
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
  bridge-domain 600
 !
!
interface BDI600
 ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252
 ip verify unicast reverse-path
end

And yes, it looks like uRPF works.  :-)
