Yes, area-level and raster data are accessible without microdata access. You can register for TerraPop here, and leave the checkbox under Microdata Access blank if you do not wish to use it. If you do request access to microdata, your request may take a day or two to be approved, but you can begin accessing area-level and raster data right away.
