That answer is complicated and, while probably yes, is more actually represented as it depends on how much effort and research you're willing to put in. Depending on the OS of your computer and the OS on the NAS, the file systems could be different. You would have to figure out how to migrate the files from one type of Jellyfin install to another. Tools exist for a specific type of migration that somebody built, but not for all of them.
Not to mention that if you bought a commercial NAS product, the OS behind the scenes is probably "locked down" and permissions can be a bit tricky. You have a little less control there. My take? It's probably easier, unless you're REALLY attached to your user data, to document your settings, learn the new ecosystem, and set it up fresh. You're bound to run into weird stuff if you migrate from one to another. If it's Linux to Linux, great. Windows to what is essentially Linux docker-compose behind the Synology framework? Probably going to be tough.
