Multiple sites connected with a Ethernet circuit; one cisco, one USG pro 4

hello - I'm no newbie on technology but my network terminology and detailed understanding is limited. I'm trying to replace one sites current Cisco 2900 router with a USG pro 4. The configs on the Cisco router show their eth0/0.1 to have "encapsulated dot1q" on vlan 330 with a 10.0.0.2 /24 ip on it. This site is a end point site that rides a ISP's Ethernet circuit to another site called the hub site. Both the hub and end point site can talk to each other without issues and both go out to the internet at the hub site. So the hub site has two circuits, one for Ethernet (which is for the end point site connection) and another circuit for internet. This is not a vpn site to site setup.

I know vlan 330 is the tag the ISP put on their Ethernet circuit and I am aware of subnets but I'm not sure exactly what the dot1q means in regards to this setup. Can the USG pro 4 router be configured in a similar fashion as the cisco router I've explained above?

thank you and you're right, each site has a different subnet and I'm starting to realize my questions has a simple answer. I'm going to test this in a few days.

It looks like I have to allow / modify a few routing tables on the usg pro 4 and main site if I add more subnets to the new site with the usg pro 4.

I over thought it... solution is simple given the setup. I just needed to match the settings, going to test tomorrow but I believe I should be fine.
