Yes, Assuming you are enabled for Exchange Hybrid in AADConnect, update the attribute msExchUsageLocation on-prem and it will sync automatically to Azure...Um.. Entra :)

@Ahmad Abdeen There is no issue in enabling the exchange hybrid, as you want to use the Usage location attribute from on-premise to sync to Azure AD, on enabling the exchange hybrid option in Azure AD Connect, will create a sync rules which will help in syncing this attribute from on-premise to Azure AD.
Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
Hello @Givary-MSFT ,
I don't see the usage location attribute, should I do something to add this attribute for users in Windows server 2022.
@Ahmad Abdeen You need to follow the step 1 from this article - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/Exchange/plan-and-deploy/prepare-ad-and-domains?view=exchserver-2019#:~:text=/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms_DiagnosticDataOFF.-,Step%201%3A%20Extend%20the%20Active%20Directory%20schema,-Tip which has the steps to extend the exchange schema in your on-premises AD environment.
@Ahmad Abdeen Just checking in to see if above information was helpful. If you have any further updates on this issue, please feel free to post back.
@Givary-MSFT and @Andy David Thank you very very much, everything is ok
Hello Andy,
Thank you for your answer, must I enable Exchange hybrid? Do i have a risk when i enabled Exchange hybrid?
Are you using Exchange Online? Do you have Exchange on-prem?
