Sort of. But it's not ortholinear like most numpads and lacks the addition keys like a big Enter key, and the various math operations.
It's an impoverished numpad that requires different muscle memory that you probably don't use often enough to master.
Personally I never use the virtual numpad on my devices, I use the full numpad if available or I usr the top row of number keys.

In my limited beginner experience (rarely use numpads, mostly in Blender, or virtual numpads), it's awkward to turn virtual numpads on and off, I keep forgetting which state the keyboard is in, and it's hard to read the grayed-out key labels to figure out which normal key maps to the numpad key I want.

With this method you can customize the location and surrounding mathematical operators.
