No, it's not suitable - It's not ASIO capable and also only has 1 stereo input/output so could only run one timecode deck.
You will need a suitable ASIO capable sound card with at least 4 inputs (2 stereo) and 4 outputs, such as the ESI Maya44 USB. Please see: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Timecode%20Requirements.html
You will also need to upgrade to the full VirtualDJ Professional to use timecode or MIDI controllers: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html

For timecode you need a low-latency capable ASIO sound card with at least 4 inputs (2 stereo) and 4 outputs as already advised above.
You don't necessarily need to use a Rane sound card (That is an expensive option.) Popular choices for VirtualDJ for timecode use include Hercules DJ Trim and ESI Maya44 USB.
The USB sound card in that Behringer mixer is not suitable because it only has a single stereo input/output (For simple playback/recording.) However, it would work OK as a standard analogue DJ mixer if you use it with another suitable external sound card (See above.)
