I am looking at a 2020 Vault hub/ next R rear wheel 12x157 superboost. Will any freehub body (Microspline) mount onto the vault hub?

Just tore a perfectly good 21 trek rail 9.8XT apart and rebuilt,My goal was to make it better than the 9.9XTR which I couldnt find. So I went with next 31s w/mcro spline and swapped all XT for XTR and its sick. the Next 31s came so well packaged , built and taped up I couldnt ask for more. Well worth it seems like they could have thrown in a free sticker.
