Not sure about the list but most fibre companies have an ONT. That'd be a box that converts the fibre signal to ethernet. If they supply you with one of those, you can directly connect the orbi. If they don't, then you might need the gateway they recommend. but you're not required to put the orbi in access point mode. You could simply put the orbi's ip address into the gateway's DMZ. Then it automatically forwards all traffic.
