VoWiFi is one of the features that we are seeing OEMs enabling on their compatible phones via OTA. Asus has also joined this bandwagon and with the latest update for the Asus ROG Phone 2, it has enabled this feature finally for the Reliance Jio network. Note that the changelog itself does not mention anything related to VoWiFi or WiFi Calling feature for the ROG Phone 2 but, there are several reports on Reddit where users have claimed that this update enables this new WiFi calling feature for the device.
