Not entirely nor elegantly, but it could be part of an ungainly stack of
adapters that works.
This is only a 9-to-25 adapter, but you still need null-modem. So if you
were to use this you would have to add a male/female mini null-modem
adapter:

and then stick the usb adapter onto that. It would make a 5 inch long
rigid stack of connectors all hanging off the serial port sticking
straight back... You could do that but that's terrible.

This will work, but it's not ideal, because it's based on a Prolific
chip instead of an FTDI chip.
But, if you already ordered this, it's ok it will most likely work fine.
I would get this cable:

That plus the usb adapter you already got is all you need.
Unless you're talking about Android and then you also need an OTG cable.
But for a laptop or computer with a USB-A port, that's all you need.
The cables on that Model T Serial Cable page are not random. They have a
particular combination of wiring and connectors that most cables don't have.
