As the author of the blog post, I'll post the details per the mods:

When you deploy a resource of type Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/accessPolicies with the name “add”, it will merge in your changes. This special child resource type was created to allow Managed Service Identity scenarios where you don’t know the identity of a VM until the VM is deployed and you want to give that identity access to the vault during deployment.

An incremental deployment can be used along with this json to achieve the objective:

{
    "$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "vaultName": {
            "type": "string"
        }
    },
    "resources": [
        {
            "type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/accessPolicies",
            "name": "[concat(parameters('vaultName'), '/add')]",
            "apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
            "properties": {
                "accessPolicies": [

                        }
                    }
                ]
