Yes, it is very possible that it could be your period. Sometimes spotting can occur during menstrual cycles where there is very little blood and it may be discolored.
From what you've explained, it sounds like your period is very irregular and doesn't stick to a 28 day cycle. Has your period always been like this or did you just recently start experiencing that?
There are several things that can cause irregular periods including:
stress
travel
sickness
birth control
excessive exercise
changes in diet
being underweight or overweight
change in schedules
Also, are you on a form of birth control? Sometimes that can cause changes in your menstrual cycle.
I hope this helped! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
