T5 refers to the diameter of the bulb, so yes, you could put that bulb into any T5 socket of the appropriate length... Whether you'd get it to fire or emmit the right spectrum is another matter. A NO ballast may FIRE a T5 VHO bulb - but chances are it won't be emmiting the correct spectrum - as it really wasn't meant to drive that bulb. Conversely, a VHO ballast may burn out a NO T5 in a matter of minutes - again the spectral output probably isn't going to be correct either.
