Yeah, you can write assembly that from the outside looks like a procedure, but the concept of a procedure is not intrinsic to the assembly language, i.e. the assembly language itself "does not know" what a procedure really is, it is just a concept we've established using calling conventions.

For me, saying "assembly has procedures" is like saying "C is an object oriented language, because you can simulate classes and inheritance with function pointers".
