No. If you look at the output of

$ apt-cache show coreboot

you'll see that it says

"This is a dependency package for a version of GRUB that has been built
for use with platforms running the Coreboot firmware."

As that indicates, this is not / does not install coreboot itself, it
only installs a version of GRUB that knows how to interact with
coreboot.

Read the coreboot board-compatibility list, which to the best of my
ability to determine on short notice is at:

https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html

I haven't looked in depth, but
https://doc.coreboot.org/mainboard/index.html and/or the rest of
https://doc.coreboot.org/ might be useful.

You'd need the actual, internal model number, but I suspect that that is
far too new to be likely to be (well-)supported yet.
