Yes, I think so. I believe, MWIF can be played via pbem ++ lobby, whatever this means.
It can be certainly played with more than 2 players by pbem in the normal, simple way.

There's no PBEM lobby in MWiF, but there are ways to play it PBEM. Search the forums for "PBEM".

So I stand corrected, sorry.
Without exactly knowing what "pbem ++ lobby" is supposed to mean, I should have better not replied at all. I know, some people play MWIF via netplay, using a Matrix/Slitherine "lobby" for connecting. Others play via pbem by sending the game file by messenger or email.

The PBEM++ system is the one where it is built into various games (TOAW IV, WITE2 WITW, SC series, OOB, etc.) and you use your matrix login to it. But the game has to be designed to utilize those features. Basically all the saves are saved on the Matrix serves, this helps reduce cheating, multiple reloads for good die rolls, and also to create and accept challenges online. It has pros and cons, the biggest cons is sometimes the servers go down disrupting folks.

Looks something like this:
