Yes, of course. There is a good chance that you can simply connect the router to the modem and it will work immediately.

If the vacation home has a totally different type of internet connection (such as PPoE), you may need to do a Factory Reset and configure the Orbi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMw4ePACgc4
