Hello,
Is it possible to connect 4 cameras to an ethernet hub (via HDMI-Cat 5E/6 extender), and output it (via an ethernet cable) to Vmix? Will Vmix be able to detect all the 4 cameras individually like that?

If you think about UTP-extenders as HDMI->transiever->UTP->reciever->HDMI - you need capture card in vMix PC with 4 HDMI inputs. AND this metod not use Ethernet technology, only twisted pairs as phisical media.
If you think about sending video over Ethernet - check MPEG4/H264 encoders with RTSP capability - vMix can use this streams as inputs.

I understand how the capture card works. I was thinking whether it is possible to use an ethernet hub as the 'capture card' instead. For example, I plan to output 4 video cameras via ethernet cable to an ethernet hub, from the ethernet hub, the 4 video cameras output signal is then routed to my vMix PC. Is this possible?

No. HDMI extenders may use Cat5/6/x as their means of connectivity, but they don't create an IP network. You can't put them into a switch and expect anything to happen.
Each HDMI extender is a transmitter/receiver pair, that needs a dedicated Ethernet cable between the transmitter and the receiver.
You could use an encoder at each camera, putting the resulting IP video streams on a network. vMix could access those video streams. The quality of the video would be defined by the sophistication (cost) of the encoder.
