Just tested, TLDR yes it works.

Steps:

0. Uninstall VLC (I just did this to reset its permissions+config)

1. Install VLC (3.5.4 from fdroid)

2. Open VLC

3. It'll start with a splash screen, click next.

4. Next screen is VLC asking what permissions you want to give it. Pick the leftmost of the 3

5. Finish the setup wizard

6. It prompts for notification permission, which I allowed

7. You should be at a screen titled "Permission not granted", with 2 buttons. Click the right button to pick a file

8. Use the system file dialog to pick a file

9. It plays

I don't have "2 buttons" on the screen titled "Permission not granted", and no file dialog. Also not working, when asking VLC to play the file from another program. Must be a bug or incompatibility somewhere. Also this must be the reason why I wasn't able to find a music player on F-Droid then :| Thank you for checking!
