He is in the Iliad. So I would say he does.
Saying he was actually Apaliunas from the Hittites would be on far firmer ground because he was supposedly the builder of the walls of Troy so his being a Hittite deity borrowed by the Greeks would make sense.

The Iliad isn’t old enough to rule it out. Apollo, in some ways the quintessential Greek god, was not Greek, he just resonated with them.
