Yes, an electromagnetic field can coax charged particles into forming a current, but its mere presence does not mean there is current. Electromagnetic fields happily exist in vacuum where no current is possible.
And yes, electric currents can be formed by free electrons, not just ionised gas (i.e. plasma).
