The Blackmagic Design Studio Fiber Converter is a bi-directional fiber optic interface for the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter. Able to communicate with a Camera Fiber Converter up to 1.6 miles away, the Studio Fiber Converter can be implemented in OB vans, television studios, and large venues to carry video, audio, communication, and control signals over a single SMPTE fiber connection. On the rear panel, SDI connections for HD or UHD 4K video and HD return feeds are available. Audio breaks out from the four XLR connections. Additional connections include reference in and out, PTZ and intercom/tally on D connectors, Ethernet, and SFP fiber (requires separately available SFP cage). The front panel features a lone SMPTE fiber connector for the Camera Fiber Converter and a 5" display.

Will an ATEM switcher control tally via ethernet ...
Will an ATEM switcher control tally via ethernet or do you still need to run a GPI Tally Interface for these?
The ATEM switcher provides tally over the SDI connection. You connect the ATEM Program out to the Studio Fiber Converter SDI input #1 and assign a camera number. The camera will get tally in this way. You may optionally wire a 3rd party tally to the DB-25 connector but that has nothing to do with the ATEM and is not necessary.

12G - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1447935-REG/blackmagic_design_adpt_12gbi_opt_12g_bd_sfp_optical.html
Yes, you can connect the Talkback 4K to the Studio Converter to get talkback on an URSA Broadcast camera with a Fiber Converter attached. You will need an ATEM switcher to pass the talkback channels through.
Newer ATEM switchers have talkback built in, so you only need the Talkback 4K if you're using an older model. Consult your manual to see if your ATEM model has talkback built in.
