The USB port is for diagnostics purposes only, The "motherboard" of the ATV2 seems to have the solder pads for a dock connector but obviously no dock connector...

Someone that's game enough to pull theirs apart and test it may find that the ports have full connections as per iPad... however the Apple TV won't be able to power a USB device as it has no internal 5v power (I think... I could be wrong), the PSU is 3.7v.

Davilla already tore one apart and soldered a dock plug onto the connector that you're linking to. The pinout isn't the same.
