is it possible to put a list directly in a SOQL query?
Is it possible to put a list directly in a SOQL query form the query editor? Let's say I wanted to query over a list, is the following possible in any way?

Sure. You can do it a couple of different ways.
As here, you can use a literal list, but you wouldn't include a : for Apex binding:
SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName IN ('Johnson', 'Jones') LIMIT 10
Alternately, you can accumulate a List<String> or Set<String> (since this is a text field) and use Apex binding to reference it:
List<String> lastNames = new List<String>{'Johnson', 'Jones'};
List<Contact> contacts = [SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName IN :lastNames LIMIT 10];
