A single EXE file in the directory, run with custom parameters, launched from the PortableApps platform, is that possible?

I think so

Assuming I actually understand what you're saying, yes, it is possible to run an EXE with custom parameters using the launcher. See the documentation for details. I hope this helps.

Well... almost. I guess this

Well... almost. I guess this trick only works with files in the PortableApps format, right? What I need now is to run an arbitrary or any Windows .exe file with parameters from the PortableApps platform. Is that possible?

Shortly

It will be possible shortly in an upcoming 12.0 beta.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
