There are several places in this conversation where the words used can change the meaning.
If you are referring to the HP Smart application,
If your printer is a model that supports the application,
If your network supports running the application,
then
Yes, in general, you can install the HP Smart App for Windows and use it to scan with your printer.

HP Scan is part of the installed Full Feature Software in Programs and Features
HP Scan is, in fact, software that runs via an executable program.
The HP Scan that is part of the printer software is usually called from the shortcut on your Desktop named for the printer for which the software was installed.

HP Scan might refer to the HP Universal Scan Software (both printer model and OS dependent)
HP Scan --as in HP Universal Scan Software - can be called as a stand alone program using the desktop shortcut named "HP Scan"
