Yes, RaspberryPi communicates with VRM the same as any Venus device.
You have the remote console too which is accessible on LAN IP address or via VRM.
Required hardware depends upon what equipment you want to connect to the RaspberryPi.
Almost everything must be via USB, so VE.Direct devices (BMV, most MPPT's, some inverters) will each need a VE.Direct to USB dongle: https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-direct-to-usb-interface
VE.Bus devices (MultiPlus, Quattro) will need MK3 to USB dongle: https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/interface-mk3-usb
Run your RaspberryPi from a good power supply, the official RaspberryPi PSU is a good one.
