You can use web2py to implement the backend for such an ad system. It's perfectly capable of deciding which ad to serve, recording things about who views which ad, letting advertisers upload ads, etc. Most of that will probably be straight-forward database queries that any web framework, including web2py, can handle.
Web2py is a perfectly-capable choice for your task, but web2py's role in your app basically amounts to "randomly choose an image and return a link to it via AJAX". Your choice of web framework has little-to-no bearing on how easy or hard it will be to cover up the customer's website and display the ad to the user, which will all be done in framework-independent JavaScript.
