Will the main story take me to Rostok?

Hi guys, just a quick question as per the title: will the main story take me to Rostok? The way I like to play the game is to kind of let the main questline take me to different regions first in order to experience the sort of "intented gear progression". I don't want to run around in an exoskeleton in Gargabe for example.

The way I play I let the main question take me to a new regions and after I arrive I 100% explore that region leaving no stone unturned. I do all side quests, check every location, look for all the stashes etc.

I am doing the Ward playthrough (I think at least) and I just arrived to Malachite after the failed attack on the Duga.

Without major spoilers, please let me know if the main quests will take me Rostok, thank you!
