The USB3.1 type-C port is powered by an ASMedia controller. Were it powered off Intel's chipset then you could've taken advantage of it. In short - no it doesn't have Thunderbolt support. If you went with an add-on Thunderbolt card then you'd be having support for a VR headset though the main question would be that your system would be lacking in VR capability due to a need for a beefier GPU. Depending on your headset, if you went with a GTX1000 series GPU you wouldn't need the Thunderbolt(III) add-on card.
