My old Android phone only has USB 2.0 port and can’t mount the external nvme drive (I tried with a USB 3.1 otg dongle). The same otg dongle works on M2 MBA though.
Your Android phone can absolutely mount an external drive enclosure over OTG, just make sure it’s compatible and formatted properly.

Depends on how much current the drive draws. If the m2 SSD needs more current than your regular thumb drive, your phone might not supply enough power and it stays unusable.
Besides that, as long a the enclosure uses the standard protocol and the filesystem is supported by Android, it should work
