VEX can't create geometry, only modify and create attributes.
To create geometry you could write a python SOP, but they are usually slower than node setups.

You could create an attribute in VOPs and add lines based on that attribute.
I did it with nearpoint expression though.
See attached file, it's a very dirty brutal way though.
With larger point number, points on the same box get connected too.

HTH
