Once the Expansion is extracted from that (.XPN) File to either Mac or Windows, it can be imported as an Expansion (.XPM) that can be recognized in the Software or Hardware.

Just download the Expansion for what Computer you have! Then Import it into the Hardware with the MPC Software

now i got it.
I only have Linux on my PC, never used the MPC in Controller mode.
I did install some expansions and MPC Beats with wine, than i exportet the expansions and copied the folder to my USB Stick, now the MPC one can see the expansions.
Only "The Vault 2.0" gives me an error when I wanna export it, not enough space, but there is enough.

You may be confusing Expansions and Plug-ins

When Akai released the Renaissance and the studio they released the 4 vst plugins.

The problem is that they added the word expansion to the name.

So for example in your account it shows 809 expansion or 809 plug-in expansion and people think they are standalone expansions. It’s a whole **** with Akai in that regard.

Those 4 VST plugins can only be used with the MPC software I've noticed. They can't be used with other DAW programs.

No, its the samples. They are too much compressed IMO. If I load an expansion sample the first thing for me is to disable the effects. They often make use of the older AKAI reverbs which sounds horrible.
