I am wondering if there is any way to create volume fog using polygonal object as gizmo instead of the standard environmental gizmos like box, etc

Well the nature of volumetrics is such that it doesn't really support a geometric shape other than primitives. However you can fake it by making a compound shape from other shapes. Peter Watje way back in 1997 wrote a freeware tool called ObjectCombustion that did exactly what you're saying - however I seem to remember it being really slow and a bit artifacty.
