Yes, but he couldn't get directly involved a lot. Even Ulmo didn't get directly involved, he just directed Tuor to go to Gondolin. Tuor could have refused. Of course, refusing the Lord of the Waters ain't a smart thing to do, but still, that possibility existed. Aulë couldn't get directly involved, and tell the Dwarves to rebel against Sauron, because they would listen to him, and that would constitute direct interference, which by that time, the Valar could not do. They had already relinquished their active roles in Middle-earth and their jobs as Guardians.
