The term module is a bit overloaded here.

Yes, you can define in one repo a parent pom, declaring a multi-module maven project, each module referring to a subfolder.

Those subfolders can be created through git submodule add command, referencing each a remote repository where the sub-project is versioned.
The subfolders are relative to the root folder of the parent directory, but should not need ../.

Each submodule repo can have its own pom.xml, which would reference the main project pom as a parent pom.
