Is this version able to be a thread border router?

The hardware is Thread capable. This is being evaluated for development later this year.

Is this version going to support Matter?

We are working on Matter support, and expect to offer it later this year.

With its ethernet port, can power be supplied by poe rather than the usb-c connection?

It's USB-C, but you can use a POE-USB splitter to power it via POE from your switch or router. That's what I do.

What does the wifi do? can we now support wifi devices or is it only for hub-to-hub??

Wi-Fi is a means to connect to your LAN. The hub must be connected to your LAN for you to set it up. The two ways to do this are Ethernet and Wi-Fi. This has nothing to do directly with the smart devices in your home. A Wi-Fi smart device is connected to your LAN also. It makes no difference which way the hub connects to the LAN, the compatible devices are the same: https://docs2.hubitat.com/en/devices/list-of-compatible-devices
