Technically you can.

About Apple ProRes on iPhone - Apple Support

With iPhone 15 Pro models and iPhone 16 Pro models, you can connect an external storage device with USB-C to store or record your ProRes files directly on an external storage device.


And no, a hub should not be necessary if using a high quality usb-c cable rated for at least 10Gbps data transfer.
