Yes.

Drive:
"M.2 SATA SSD"

motherboard:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350%20Pro4/#Specification
"1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module*"
(M2_2 and SATA3_3 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the other one will be disabled.)

That one will also work. And is "faster".
But you're giving up 1/2 the space for the mostly equal price.

And the actual 'speed' benefit is debatable.
Yes it is faster...in some use cases. If all you do is game on the system, unlikely you'd actually notice.

If you were continually moving around large blocks of sequential data, then it would be a significant improvement.
