Is it possible to draw geometric primitives (Circles, Rectangles, polylines, etc...) from a Visual Basic Application to Microsoft Mappoint 2002?

The answer is YES. A new method called AddShape was added to the MapPoint 2002 object model. From the Help file at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mappoint/html/BIZOMMAddShape.asp.
AddShape method:
Adds a new radius circle, oval, or rectangle to the map. Returns the newly created Shape object with a Type property of geoAutoShape.
