Re: Romex wire
1.It would be no as 334.12 (A) (10)d. says not in a wet location
2. I would say no and site 300.4 as the siding would not provide the required protection

Re: Romex wire
My above ground pool is wired in this manner. In the house is romex to a junction box. The junction box feeds plastic conduit which is mounted under the deck. At the end of the conduit is an outdoor timer which feeds the outlet. All the outside wires are individual wires in conduit. The entire cirsuit is a GFCI circuit. This was what the inspector wanted.
