No, both sender and receiver have to support zaps.

A pure LN wallet cannot send or receive zaps.

For sending: AFAIK you cannot zap from a normal LN wallet (you need a nostr component to initiate the zap)

For receiving: yes, you cannot receive zaps on a normal LN Address (or LNURL endpoint). The LN Address has to be customized with some more fields + has to monitor the pending invoices / zaps. It also needs a nostr component to emit nostr events.
