firstly, office store accept web based office add-in you're not able upload vsto developed add-in office store official publishing.

you might refer office add-ins platform overview.

but according microsoft employee michael zlatkovsky in response similar question on msdn forum here: vsto add-ins should able listed in windows store desktop app.

please note response @michael alatkovsky 2013, indeed correct @ time. also, refer this article provided him: content moved, desktop application has been not part of our new windows 10 store. existing desktop app can still available windows 8.x users cannot updated in dev center.

however, desktop app converter can enable bring existing desktop apps written .net 4.6.1 or win32 uwp, vsto developed app not supported.
