The display will work but it's unlikely you'll get the touch part working. Touch flows over the I2C within the HDMI cable, not via USB like most other touchscreens.

There are lots of HDMI touchscreens that do work with the PI. You an also use the "Official 7" Raspberry PI Touchscreen" and mount the PI on the back of the display. This is what I did before I got a Cerbo/Touch 70.
