That's possible. String theory works like QFT (quantum field theory). I
presume but do not really know that QFT works whether every quantum state
is realized or only one in every physical interaction.

That's way short of the number of worlds in a MWI reality, which is/are
nearly infinite.
The 10^500 is the number of possible distinct Calabi-Yau (compactified)
Manifolds CYMs.
Given the size from Yau's book at 1000 Planck lengths, and a max
close-packed density of 10^90/cc, we can fill a goodly number of universes
plus the enclosing Metaverse (formerly known as a multiverse and also a
Megaverse) with an array of CYMs each distinct from all others, amenable to
a natural number system.
