Shimano Flat Mount hydraulic road disc brakes debut, new 11-speed 105 Level hydro shifter & more!

As I understand it. If your frame has not been drilled for direct-mount, you will not be able to bolt up the brakes. If your bike is direct-mount capable, you will be able to use any brand of disk brake by way of an adapter.
