Probably. See [Samsung] How to flash Stock ROM via ODIN. You can flash any ROM written to be installed by Odin by using Odin. ROMs released as zip files have to be installed with CWM or TWRP.

Is it the same custom roms as Galaxy S5?

About as much as an egg is a quart of milk. IOW, not even "not even close"

The only ROMs I've found for the Alpha are Galaxy Alpha Android Development - XDA Forums Evidently there's not much development for that phone. (Both of those are zip files, so you'll have to install CWM or TWRP - which will trip Knox.)

There are a couple of custom ROM's available Galaxy Alpha Android Development - XDA Forums but be sure to first backup your Galaxy Alpha first and make sure you store that backup off the device and read all instructions about rooting and the ROM. Enjoy.
