Arlo Secure vs. Base Station & Apple Homekit

I read that I can connect (pair) Arlo camera, i.e. Arlo Pro 5S 2K with the Arlo Secure Keypad Sensor Hub.

Does the Arlo Secure Keypad Sensor Hub replace the need for a Arlo xxx SmarHub?

Does the Arlo Secure Keypad Sensor Hub like an Arlo xxx SmarHub allow me to connect my Arlo devices to Apple Homekit?

I ask b/c I don't know if this article is up to date or not?

An Arlo Base Station (VMB5000, VMB4540, VMB4500, or VMB4000)
Note: To use HomeKit, your Arlo device must be connected to an Arlo SmartHub or Base Station. You can’t use HomeKit with your Arlo device if the device is connected directly to a WiFi router.

No.
