Can Exchange Server 2003 and 2007 be backup up using VSS API's that are provided for exchange 2010?

Yes you can, please refer to Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008: Online Exchange Backup (part 6 of 7).
Get the edb, chk & log file paths using get-StorageGroup
, get-MailboxDatabase
& get-PublicFolderDatabase
for Exchange 2007 or get-MailboxDatabase
& get-PublicFolderDatabase
for Exchange 2010,
and do the usual VSS stuff to copy them.
Make sure to signal VSS backup success to purge the log files.
