Yes, you must create a SeqRecord object with suitable SeqFeature objects,
and then write it out with SeqIO in GenBank format. If all your features have
trivial locations, this is pretty easy.

For example, I've done this to make simple gene predictions based on ORF
finding and selecting the most upstream start codon, then generating the
corresponding SeqFeatures, and saving this as a GenBank file.
