Absolutely. Using session:execute is only for dialplan applications.  
To do API commands, including all the stuff in mod_commands, you need  
to create an API object:

api = freeswitch.API()

Then send a command and the variable will receive the results:

reply = api:executeString("version")

Check out this page for more examples:
