Unless your HP printer is an AirPrint-ready device, just connecting it to the USB port of the AirPort Express base station will not make it so.

On the other hand, connecting a non-AirPrint printer to the base station's USB port it can be shared out by the base station's print server. Please see the following Apple Support article for details.

This printer is not on the AirPrint list. So I won't be able to use the printer for my IPhone, iPad etc?

Correct! However, there is a workaround for iOS devices with non-AirPrint-ready devices and that is to use a third-party solution, like Printopia.
