If I'd buyed a set neck from Soulmate, and a Warmoth body without hole, could I assembly a set neck guitar? or should neck pocket be different?
 
The neck pocket is very different. Depending on the design, a set neck/body joint is either a mortise & tenon or a dovetail joint so you have some structural strength even before you glue it. A bolted neck/body joint is a lap joint, which isn't strong enough with just glue for the amount of tension the strings will put on it.

Ok, thanks Cagey!!
