Is there any way to have a command bar button (xtpControlSplitButtonPopup) drop down or open like the combo control does by setting the  '.DroppedState = True'  property?

Create a toolbar and add the controls as you need:
With CommandBars1
    Set cToolbar = .Add("Toolbar", xtpBarTop)
End With

Dim btnSplit As CommandBarControl
Set btnSplit = AddControl(cToolbar.Controls, xtpControlSplitButtonPopup, ID_16_HELP, "Help", True, "Open help")
With btnSplit
    .CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_16_CONTACTUS, "Contact us"
    .CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_16_ABOUT, "About"
End With

Later, you simulate the DrowDown behavior:
Private Sub PushButton1_Click()
    Dim btn As CommandBarControl
    With CommandBars1
        Set btn = .FindControl(xtpControlSplitButtonPopup, ID_16_HELP, , True)
        If Not btn Is Nothing Then
            btn.SetFocus
            SendKeys "{F4}{Down}"
        End If
    End With
End Sub



Generic AddControl function:
Public Function AddControl(Controls As CommandBarControls, ControlType As XTPControlType, ID As Long, Caption As String, Optional BeginGroup As Boolean = False, Optional DescriptionText As String = "", Optional ButtonStyle As XTPButtonStyle = xtpButtonAutomatic, Optional Category As String = "Controls") As CommandBarControl
    Dim Control As CommandBarControl
    Set Control = Controls.Add(ControlType, ID, Caption)
    
    Control.BeginGroup = BeginGroup
    Control.DescriptionText = DescriptionText
    Control.Style = ButtonStyle
    Control.Category = Category
    
    Set AddControl = Control
    
End Function
