These two plants came potted together. I don't think its ...

Meh, if you like the look and space savings I’d keep them that way until one needs a repot or starts to look sad. It looks like they’re both potted relatively loosely in moss (unless there is something underneath), and they’re both technically epiphites, so I can’t imagine the pothos (or it looks like pothos to me) will harm the orchid (which will be the slower growing plant). You may have to fertilize a bit more regularly to avoid nutrient competition, but orchids barely need anything to begin with.
Just because people haven’t seen something before doesn’t mean it doesn’t work :)
If you are not used to having plants/orchids in moss, the biggest concern here is that you might accidentally overwater it. Do give the medium a check to ensure it’s not super densely packed. Don’t be afraid to periodically sniff it (especially before watering) to make sure it doesn’t smell wet or musty (implying mold/rot), and stick either your finger or a moisture meter down in there to gauge whether it’s moist or not. For a pot that size I’d maybe start with 1/4c water per week and monitor whether that seems too much or too little (it looks like there might also be a care card attached to it). If you aren’t sure whether it needs water, it’s generally better to err on the side of giving it another day or two…. If it really gets thirsty, the leaves will droop a little as their turgor gets low, so that can be another indicator of thirst. Better to neglect than to overwater and rot. Good luck!

@pricklydude that pot looks like it’s all sphagnum moss which is an ideal medium for orchids (and a non-terrestrial orchid like that doesn’t belong in a “soil mix”). I’ve never grown a pothos in moss, but I have kept one and a similar epiphite in moss for a time… as a hardy epiphite it should still be pretty happy in it… a lot of the soils recommended for pothos — like Promix HP — tend to be soil-less peat-based mixes, peat is decomposed moss
