Can Microfrontend using Module Federation Plugin be in different repos?

I am looking at developing a Microfrontend app by having a container/host app and various child apps (all are based on ReactJS, but just divided based on functionaility).
The idea is to get the benefit of independent build/deployments, etc and avoiding code conflicts between different teams working on different modules.

So my question is can Microfrontend implementation using Module Federation Plugin be in different repos ?

The examples I have seen are mostly the child apps are in the same repo, just that they are in a directory/folder of their own (e.g. child1, child2, etc)
