Can the Velen "Place of Power" be accessed from the expansion DLC in Witcher 3? -  Iphone 6 on Gray Textile

I've been trying to access the underground Place of Power shown in this question:

Where is the entry to the underground place of power in Velen?

But there is a large door blocking my access to the room I need to get to.

Velen elven ruins

Is this because I'm playing through the expansion packs, instead of going back and doing this quest from the main storyline? Or is there some way to open this door and I'm just not "getting it" somehow?

Does anyone know if this is a "bug" or a "feature?"
