Yes it will work, tried it myself yesterday.
It's compatibility is roughly the same as the Matrix Infinity built in VGA mode - i.e. lousy. Some games are broken even. Major advantage is that it can display 640x480 @ 85hz. Nice. Also it displays 60hz as 60hz, not 61hz like in the matrix. The other higher res are nice to have for lcds but i have my doubts that 1280x1024 is outputted correctly since my monitor didn't recognize that resolution in game.
I gave up on native VGA support on the PS2.
I think that by now it's kinda proven that most PS2 games will never display properly in VGA. Better use a upscan converter or a TVcard with svideo hookup.
PAL PS2 V7 + 300gb HD: Svideo -> tvcard
PAL GC + Qoob Pro 1.3c: VGA -> Belkin SOHO 4 port KVM.
PAL DC: VGA -> Belkin SOHO 4 port KVM.
PAL Sega Saturn: Svideo -> tvcard
PAL Wii: Composite -> tv card

Xploder HDTV blows.
