Is it possible to make a rule that checks for new emails with a
specified subject i a mailbox
and if it match the rule then launch a script that create a event i the
local eventlog

A "run a script" rule action actually uses not an external script but a VBA procedure with a MailItem or MeetingItem as its parameter. That item is processed by the code:

Sub RunAScriptRuleRoutine(MyMail As MailItem)
Dim strID As String
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem

strID = MyMail.EntryID
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olMail = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID)
' do stuff with olMail, e.g.
MsgBox olMail.SUbject

Set olMail = Nothing
Set olNS = Nothing
End Sub

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/zaphtml.htm#ol2002 for another example.

No, if you want custom code to run on the server, you're talking about an Exchange event sink, not an Outlook rule.
