For classic scrypt hashes, yes - and this will obsolete the scrypt
format currently in JtR. (Except that I think folks working on jumbo
added other encodings in there, which may need to be re-added too,
before we'd replace that format.)
For native yescrypt hashes, no.

The interface for you to use is yescrypt_r().
It uses the above encoding when invoked on a classic scrypt hash, with a
setting string starting with "$7$".
It uses a revision of this encoding when invoked on native yescrypt
hashes. And there's a problem here: not all of yescrypt's parameters
are encoded in there yet. I should correct this. If I don't do it soon
enough (and inform you), please feel free to develop something temporary
instead (like you did for other PHC finalists already, which didn't have
any native crypt(3)-like encoding at all).

No, yescrypt_kdf() does not use any encoding into an ASCII string at all.
It works on binary data.
