Yes. Being told to acquire a target lock is different from taking a Target Lock Action (which itself just tells you to acquire a target lock).

Also, even if you don't have Target Lock on your action bar, if an effect specifically told you to take a Target Lock action, you could do so. Similar to effects like BB-8 that let a ship Barrel Roll without it on their bar.
