Yes. In this case N refers to any integer larger than 2. For every value of n there is a polygon that corresponds. As n becomes very large the polygon is almost indistinguishable from a circle, but it is only approaching a circle.

Examples
If n = 3. Triangle
If n = 8. Octogon
If n = 100. Hectogon

For large values of n the polygons don't have names.

How much degrees is a pentagon?

The sum of internal angles of a shape is given by the equation 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides. For a pentagon, which has 5 sides, this would be 180x3 = 540. The sum of external angles of a shape is given by (180-(x/n))n where n is the number of sides and x is the sum of internal angles. For a pentagon, this would be 5x(180-540/5) = 360
