Victron Orion 12/12-30 Isolated charger Ford F-150

Can anyone tell me if the Victron Orion 12/12-30 isolated is compatible for a 2020 Ford F-150 for charging a auxiliary lithium 100ah battery in the bed of the truck?

Should be. You didn't mention where you're mounting the Orion, but if it's in a slide-in camper make sure your cables from the truck battery to the Orion are adequately sized for the distance (15-20 ft one way) and current. Expect to use 4 AWG at minimum.

It would be in my truck bed so probably 4 awg as it will be around 20 feet. Also, would I go non isolated or isolated?

Doesn't matter about isolated/non isolated here.
