I'm a little unclear what flow you have in mind, so I'll attempt a couple 
different answers...

1. If you're trying to use the Synology NAS device as z/OS reachable 
storage -- DFSMShsm ML3-like storage, as a notable example -- then IBM 
Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm communicating with MinIO "somewhere" that 
then uses backend Synology storage should be fine as one possible pattern. 
Yes, in principle at least a MinIO server could run on the same Ubuntu 
Linux machine where your zPDT+z/OS runs. I think it's neater/cleaner to 
make the Synology device itself S3/cloud object storage compatible by 
running MinIO directly on the Synology device, but yes, you can run MinIO 
(or another cloud object storage server) elsewhere.

2. If you want to back up Ubuntu Linux files to a Synology device there 
are myriad ways to do that. For example, you could configure Ubuntu Linux 
as a NFS client to the Synology NAS's NFS server (that you've enabled on 
the Synology device -- it's configurable), and then you can access it just 
like any other file directory and use whatever file copying or other 
backup tool you wish.
