Certainly, you can read much early cyperpunk and sci-fi in terms of Wittgenstein and vice versa. It's not like Lain is drenched in psychobabble. Actually, it's pretty obvious that no one in the production of the show could hold a match to the proto-progriders of yore. For someone to dismiss it as such is to basically confess that they're so immature you can see beyond those basic motifs.
