Confuse which PBX port connect to router's VIC port
In the attached file I got confused to what I have found : is two different figures from two different sites

From the top in the first figure FXS for SmartNode 2300 ( I guess it is a voice gateway ) is connected to FXO for PBX.
While in second Figure FXO for Cisco router (it is a voice gateway ) is connected to FXS for PBX.

No you can just buy a router with a FXS interface. That way you will be able to dial out to any number.
The limitation you will have is that any incoming calls will effectivly just ring whatever is connected to the port. If you have multiple telephone numbers assigned to the port then you wont be able to distinguish between them.
Perhaps it would be a good idea if you could describe what you wish to do.

With PBX, I can have one of these scenario :
1- Router's FXS port to be connected to a PBX's FXO.
2- Router's FXO port can be connected to a PBX's FXS.
But with modem, telephone, fax, in all scenario these devices should be connected to a router's FXS.
