Why not?  I'd worry more about the quality of the optics.

It means that there's some USB spec for video that it conforms to, and
that spec is implemented in drivers distributed standard with recent
enough versions of Linux.  The fact that they don't say what that spec
is, is a quality issue (unless it's included in the USB 2.0 spec, but
that seems unlikely to me -- I am not a hardware expert, though, just
OCD about standards :-).  But it probably does work.
