Would SCUMM support other games?

Probably not.

SCUMMVM is a virtual machine for the SCUMM system.

SCUMM was a platform for adventure games developed and used by Lucas Art. Hence SCUMMVM is an emulator for this platform, running the games developed on it.

As far as i know, Lucas Art was the only one developping games on SCUMM, so i doubt we'll see any of the game you asked about on SCUMM.

I may be wrong, but i dont think any of those game run on SCUMM platform. You would then need a different emulator. That would probably NOT be SCUMM.

Yeah, anonymous is right. SCUMM is (was?) LucasArts' <i>internal</i> engine. The acronym implies that it was specifically created for, and possibly originally exclusively for Maniac Mansino ("Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion"). AFAIK, the only published SCUMM games were made by LucasArts. ScummVM (and therefore PocketSCUMM, either now or in some future release) happens to support a couple of other non-SCUMM games (namely Beneath a Steel Sky and Simon the Sorceror 2), but those are special cases.

Though I think you're out of luck with Discworld and Noctropolis, you can play Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, et al through an AGI interpreter. Though it only works with the really old ones (with the text parser). I think the PPC interpreter was called PocketAGI or something like that...
