Yes, any program that implements spell checking will use the system libraries, like aspell, ispell, hunspell, hspell, and enchant. And Qt and GTK have Sonnet and gspell, respectively, to implement spell checking in their applications.
soooo how do I access it?
If the libraries are available, programs that implement spell check will use them automatically.
emacs-everywhere with a nicely crafted flyspell config? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I know there are equivelants for Neovim as well, if Emacs isn't OP's thing
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
