no, only EXR previously saved with the save feature of save/resume. This saves some extra data about number of samples per pixel in the file.

It is possible to do that. Just enable autosave option, make sure output path is correct and set number of images kept>on render end to equal or higher value than number of images in your render batch. When render finishes, in autosave folder you'll have bunch of files named [your_autosave_file_name]_endxxx.exr. Those are the files you can load into Corona and resume rendering if needed.

I think there already is a feature request for saving Corona EXR straight out of VFB.
