It will onyour X-box.It will also auto convert PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL.I use my X-box to view European PAL DVD cause my TV is NTSC system only.

Sorry for the noob question but are we talking about the XBox being able to play an R0 (all-region) DVD or all regions (R2, R3...etc) DVDs?

Xbox will only play R0 (all-region) dvds and R1 or the region where the Xbox was sold.

So if your question is if the Xbox can play dvds from all regions (1-6) out of the box, the answer is NO.
