Yes, you can do this--it just isn't very well documented, I guess. 
Anyhow, you can specify the Lua script that you want to run via the
syntax:

femme.exe -lua-script=yourscript.lua -windowhide

The addition of -windowhide makes femme run basically like a command
line application, which is probably preferable if you are just calling
the program as an analysis engine from somewhere else.

Also, you might check out the Calling a FEMM analysis in
a Mathematica or Matlab function example on the FEMM
website.  This same approach is used to call FEMM as part of a matlab
or mathematica program.
