It bypasses the amp if you want it to.
The stock Volvo amp uses a MOST fiber interface, and no after-market stereo can interface directly to the MOST fiber.
But you can buy interfaces to connect a stereo directly to the fiber and thus over the stock amplifier, if you want.
Will it sound as good?
That depends if you use a quality head unit, and quality speakers, and do some sound equalization on the vehicle using proper quality sound measurement equipment.
So: it depends....
