The ThinkVision M15 also works when connected via a docking station with USB-C, provided that the docking station supports USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output. Your ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 4 should be compatible as it supports USB-C with video output.
The monitor requires a USB-C connection that supports both video and power supply, which is usually the case with modern ThinkPad docking stations. This allows you to operate the monitor via the docking station while your laptop is connected.
It is important that the docking station supports USB-C with DP Alt Mode, otherwise the monitor will not receive an image. Lenovo ThinkVision M15 has only one USB-C port for video and power, no separate video inputs.
In short: Yes, the monitor will work with your ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 4 via a compatible USB-C docking station if the docking station supports DP Alt Mode.
I have the ThinkPad Universal Docking Station with USB-C but on the Lenovo page I can't find anything on the topic DP Alt Mode under product description.
