Can I create custom views that can do process logic before rendering the view?

Yes, you can do this by creating an filter that utilizes the DisplayView() method in the EventContext object. The built-in view-page command is merely a wrapper for the DisplayView() method. This allows you to still use pre-defined views from your configuration file as well as do some sort of pre-defined logic before rendering your output. An example of a filter could be building a simple display table from a passed in query object or a filter that waits for specific event args and pulls in pre-determined javascript packages to be consumed by a layout event.
