Yes. That board will fit in a VIC-20 (as well as an RCA VIP and is the same kind of edge connector on a KIM-1, AIM-65, and SYM-1, and many more). We used to be able to buy boards resembling that one at Radio Shack. They were about $3.50 (but not as nice - no gold pins, no plated-through holes, but cheap!) in 1984. There is no standard on these, BTW - every vendor ran power and signals to whatever pins were convenient. It's *common* for +5V and GND to be on the outermost pins, but that's not universal. Something to keep in mind when holding a random 44-pin board or unmarked cartridge and wondering what it goes to. Start by labelling the power and seeing what vendor uses that arrangement. It sounds like you plan to make a new expansion circuit. That board appears to be a good one to work with.
