Some USB vendors use proprietary encrypted filesystems. There's no way Linux is going to detect something that the developers have never seen before.
To quibble terminology: Linux will probably detect those filesystems, even if it can't actually read them.
If there is a system that becomes common, or common on devices Linux developers like, it will most likely have some sort of support, given that you'll be able to do a 1:1 mapping of the data and determine the encryption process.
Encryption systems that remain restricted to a small number of niche devices probably won't get implemented.
