Is a futon frame sturdy enough to withoud the weight of a mattress and boxspring or is just a mattress supposed to be used when converting a futon to a regular bed?

It depends on the style of the futon frame. Without a photo it would be very tough to say. Steel bed frames only cost 30 – 50 dollars and it will look much better. Doing it the way you are thinking will make it look as though the mattress set is sitting on top of a pallet.
