Yes, you can do that by make method for addMarker when you press on the place, You can use this code:

public class PlaceAutocompleteActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

    private GoogleMap mMap;
    PlaceAutocompleteFragment placeAutoComplete;

    LatLng myLat;
    Place placey;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_autocompleteplaces);

        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Search about a Place");

        placeAutoComplete = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete);
        placeAutoComplete.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
                addMarker(place);
            }

            @Override
            public void onError(Status status) {
                Log.d("Maps", "An error occurred: " + status);
            }
        });

        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.mapplaces);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;
    }

    public void addMarker(Place p){

        MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();

        markerOptions.position(p.getLatLng());
        markerOptions.title(p.getName()+"");
        markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE));

        mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
        mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(p.getLatLng()));
        mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(13));
    }
}
