Unlikely. The USB protocol requires one master and one or more slaves (or whatever less charged nomenclature you prefer). I’m all likelihood UEFI will blindly assume to be the master while Android and iOS require negotiation to figure out who’s boss and what interface to present.
Although given UEFI it might be possible to patch that functionality in.
The USB protocol and UEFI aren’t a problem, but Android/iOS might be. I’ve booted various PCs from a raspberry pi (USB-OTG), but the last time I tried to boot an iso from my android phone I couldn’t get it to work. It’s been a while so I can’t remember exactly what the issue was.
I mean I’m not sure I could actually boot off of my phone as a USB drive. That would be an interesting concept.

My guess the issue is that phones don’t just show up as simple drives, they rely on MTP support
