What is means is that riggers and deckers have their jacks implanted
in different parts of the brain because the different tasks that they
are wanting to perform require different brain functions.
IIRC decking requires higher brain function and as a result the
placement of the datajack is in the temple so that the hardware
is wired into the part of the brain that processes decking.
Rigging requires lower brain function which means that a rigger's
datajack is positioned behind the ear at the base of the skull.
The hardware is the same it's just that the wetware is different.
So to answer your question you couldn't deck from a rigger's
datajack and you couldn't access a vehicle control rig from
a deckers datajack.
Datajacks that are used with skillsofts would likely be of the
decker variety.
