Will it work with standard desktop board, where is M.2 slot designed for Storage?

I don't quite get who the target market is. I could see this appealing to mini ITX users, but for most of those boards, that heatsink would be a real problem. Most servers with M.2 slots either already have 10Gbps or otherwise don't need it. Most workstations have enough PCIe slots to just get a normal PCIe 10Gbps card. Since the actual RJ45 jack is rather hacky to mount, I imagine most people would rather just go for a normal PCIe 10Gbps card and use a M.2 to PCIe x4 converter (which are cheap).
I would assume so but it's rather suspicious how the key isn't mentioned anywhere.

it could be used on a DIY nas or on some home servers, but it is an strange product

I received a couple of these modules to test with recently and have done a video looking at them here which might be of interest.

One of them is in my Ryzen 7 5700G + X570 home server build, whilst the other was fitted into a small form factor system for testing but is going to live in my main workstation - both fitted into PCIe 16x to 4 x M.2 2280 riser cards using PCIe Bifurication to enable me to maximise the usage of PCIe slots and lanes inside the systems.
Its not a product which will suit every user (in a lot of cases a regular PCIe card is going to make more sense) but for those niche uses there isn't much else like it.
