Hey, thanks for reaching out. To answer your main question directly: yes, brainCloud's lobby and matchmaking system can trigger an Edgegap server deployment automatically. You do not need to build a custom C++ room server to make this work.
https://github.com/getbraincloud/examples-cpp/tree/develop/relaytestapp
The relaytestapp example on the develop branch of examples-cpp is a working client example that does exactly what you are describing. It uses brainCloud lobbies and matchmaking to find a match, and once the lobby is ready to launch, brainCloud handles spinning up the Edgegap server and passes the connection details back to all players through RTT.
The server configuration you see in the screenshot is what ties everything together on the brainCloud side. That entry defines which Edgegap application to deploy, which regions to consider based on the selected beacons, and the credentials needed to make the deployment call. Once that server is linked to a lobby type, the entire launch sequence is handled for you.
The relaytestapp is a solid starting point to see this end to end.
