It does, but usb by its nature is tethered.

I would suggest using bluetooth to communicate with your microcontroller
app.  Tethering a cellphone to a usb cable is in my view going to limit
its use.

Use the neo as primarily a display and input device.  Akin to a
hyper-intellegent RF remote.  Keep the logic in your microprocessor and
off the neo.  You don't want your automation systems to not function if
your phone is out of range.
