Is that even possible? Shouldn't the recipient email id need to be created first to be addressable?

Of course, the technical term for that setup is 'catch all', you can set this up with your email provider. You can send your email to "ghywertelling@gregegan.net", for example.
A friend gave out an email gmail@hisname.com (he owns the domain). He says it's incredible how many people "corrected" him, and how persistent some of them were. :-)
If you use the [company name]@yourdomain.com form, people who work at [company name] often say "wow, you work for [company name]??"
