My understanding is that the synthetic AFT in the power steering is perfectly accetable. I think mine may actually have it in, since the hose was replaced.

Synthetic Type F/G is difficult to find. While I don't necessarily think that running Dex in the power steering system is horrible, it's not what Volvo recommended... even after they switched the transmissions to Dex.

Further, synthetic is more expensive, and seems to provide the most benefit in a power steering system in cold weather. I'd spend the cash saved on something like Volvo branded coolant.
