Yes, I think so.
BTW I do think we are not allowed to say that sites name here. Gotta use code like the lab of the lovers place. I have seen threads deleted. But a long time ago.

Install is the same as Nexus mods, basically. Just make sure the file path is correct.

To sum this up:

Mod managers unpack archives and set files based on paths you have set for them. This is true for both Vortex and MO2. None of those functions cares where the mod came from.

Downloads are handled through NXM-links. They do not work for other sites, because NXM is Nexus link, so other sites and services are not using it. If any site starts using their own extensions that would allow people to download files through manager and/or see updates after query, then MO2 might allow them to do so.

You can install files from any source through the mod manager. It is done by using the browsing option of mod manager, which allows user to pick file directly from the hard drive. Mods can be from Nexus, LL, AFK, ModDB, self made... mod manager doesn't know or care. It only follows path data and checks if NXM data is included for direct links and mod update queries.

Personally I am always using the option to download file manually to hard drive and then installing it to my MO2 from there. Mod authors can have few very "creative" file names and version numbering schemes. They are not unified. I usually find having any single Download folder more trouble than worth, because you never actually find the files you were looking for. Downloading files "manually" to properly named and numbered folders, and then just filling in the version number to field, is slightly more work during installation, but far less work after that.
