So far Apple has not disclosed what is interchangeable between the different systems that use thier custom M.2 SSD blades and if they are now working with the common M.2 SSD blades now being produced.
While Apple appears to have settled on a common M.2 interface (PCIe) on the newest systems, I've been told the firmware within the SSD is not always workable across the different systems.
This is part of the reason 3rd party suppliers have not offered solutions for some of the systems. Some of this could be resolved by updating the systems & SSD firmware we'll need to wait a bit to see what happens when the dust settles in a few months as these systems are just to new (and not available in quantities yet for people to have test things out.

Good Question!
