Wired vnc to control Ubuntu

Hi guys,
I am not very tech savy with neither Ras Pi nor Linux.

Was researching an option to control Ubuntu installed on Raspberry using wired connection.

So setup will look like this:
[{Raspberry Pi} w Ubuntu OS] ----> wired ( ethernet/usb) connection ----> Laptop

I found that :
-There is a way to connect Ras pi( without linux) using wired VNC [1]
-There is a way to connect 2 Ubuntu linux machines using wired connection [2]

So based on above two findings , will it be possible to control Ubuntu installed on Raspberry Pi using VNC wired connection, hooked up to a MacBook?

Thanks in advance.
