#define XFS_SB_VERSION_DIRV2BIT         0x2000

So, yes it doesn't look like you have v2 directories
and there is no support for it in Linux.

BTW, on xfs_db on Linux you can show this using the version command
if it is recent enough.
e.g.
# xfs_db -c version -r /dev/sda6
versionnum [0x3084+0x0] = V4,ALIGN,DIRV2,EXTFLG
