It will do as ISO is an industry standard for connection.

One point to note on that adapter is it won't supply an ignition switched 12v live to the head unit as the Mk5 uses CAN BUS to control this. An switched live 12v can be picked up from a number of the free spaces in the fuse box and a wire run across to the headunit.

The other thing you won't get is the dimming control wire, again this is feed by the CAN BUS signal.

If you want an adapter to do both of these things for you this is the one you need: -
