Lumix Mirorrless adapters and old lenses

Quick questions regarding lumix cameras and lenses:

1. I keep finding a lot of videos on youtube talking about how you don't need to get the "specific" m43 adapter for your camera because it's basically a one-size-fits-all type of thing. Is this true? I've learned that my brother also has an old PENTAX film camera with what I've read to be a pretty good lens, an SMC Pentax A F2, so I was wondering if I might be able to use it. I'm currently borrowing a Lumix GF-2 from a friend so I can learn while i save up for a Lumix GX85.

2. secondly, would the adapter for a Lumix GF-2 be the same for a Lumix GX85? (also known as the GX80 or GX7 II)

thanks!
