if this description form EveryMac.com matches your display exactly:
In addition to the built-in Thunderbolt cable, the display also has a built-in MagSafe connector that charges a Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.
Then YES, that adapter will do exactly what you need.
That adapter support genuine ThunderBolt displays ONLY, and no others can be supported, even with adapters.
if THIS is your display, then NO:
a convenient single cable with three connectors (Mini DisplayPort, MagSafe, and USB 2.0)

Thanks. I have the display first described. I’ll order it and report the results.
As promised, the results are in. I connected the Thunderbolt monitor described above to my new M1 MacBook Pro.
It worked as advertised!
