@G5PW4 yes. The Intel UHD 630 can support up to three simultaneous independent displays, each up to 4K 60 Hz, so actually you could have 3 external displays if you wanted to and were willing to keep your laptop's built-in display disabled while using them. Note that what I just said only applies to Windows. On Linux it isn't possible to completely disable the built-in display, so you can only ever run two external displays.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, ti's possible to use display outputs simultaneously as long as you don't exceed the GPU's maximum total number of displays. For Intel GPUs, that's 3, and for dGPUs that's usually 3 or 4. So even if all of that system's display outputs are controlled by the Intel GPU with the NVIDIA GPU operating only via NVIDIA Optimus and you wanted to keep the built-in display active as well, you'd still be able to connect two external displays simultaneously. The only case I personally know about where display outputs couldn't be used simultaneously involved some Latitude system model that had USB-C, HDMI, and VGA for video outputs and it wasn't possible to use VGA and USB-C at the same time or something.
