Yes/No.
Yes you can use Thunderbolt 1 or 2 external nvme drives. See Transcend JetDrive 855 as an example.
However the apple adapter only works with Thunderbolt 3 drives that have their own independent power supply. The adapter does not transfer power so bus-powered drives will not work. For example, an OWC Express 4M2 would work but an OWC Envoy Express would not work.
