It is possible to have a decent sounding recording without having treatment in your room. I don't have a bit of treatment and nearly everyone I've recorded has been ecstatic with their mixes. I did spend a lot of time finding the sweet spot in the room though and I upgraded from crappy 5" monitors to some decent mid level 8" monitors. Honestly buying the new monitors was my biggest upgrade to my mixes. I'm sure room treatment will probably help even more and it is on my list of things to do but it certainly isn't impossible to create a decent sounding mix in an untreated room.
