Of course it's applicable to any universe, if you reduce the universe heavily enough and brush out any nuances. I don't think the D&D alignment system is really conducive to roleplay, as in playing a nuanced and multi-faceted role that can be interpreted in different ways that are all true. depending on the observer. The D&D alignment system implies that there is such a thing as an objective point of view from which to judge morality. As an example, I don't consider (\V/) to be neither 'good' or 'lawful'.
