I'm trying to onboard a VM to Azure Automation DSC. Can we add a VM from a different subscription as a DSC node ?

You won't be able to use the Register-AzureRMAutomationDSC to setup VMs cross subscription.

Following the instructions located here there are steps to run the Get-AzureRMAutomationRegistrationInfo cmdlet to get the registration key required (of the target Azure Automation account) and then steps to configure the DSC Extension on the target VM. Please note the instructions are for ASM VMs, but you can use Set-AzureRMVMExtension for ASR VMs.

Alternatively, for a more manual approach, follow the instructions here to obtain the registration url and the registration key, and then configure the Local DSC manager using the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager cmdlet.
