Yes. You can choose not to do anything in any phase. But, you still go through the phases. And, effects that activate when a phase begins automatically get activated, and effects that can only be activated during a certain phase can still be used, if your opponent wishes to use it.

Tell your opponent that you want to skip directly to your Final Phase or something, so your opponent can still respond to the skipped phases. Or, if you have cards that automatically get activated at the start of a phase.

Although, there are cards that can let you skip the phases entirely, though.
