That adapter will not work, as the macbook does not have thunderbolt. I think you can use the apple hdmi, usb, power adapter for one of the monitors, and you'd need a USB 3 to video adapter for the second one.

How would the MacBook be charged with that ?....I don't think HDMI will pass power through to the MacBook. BTW, specs here https://www.startech.com/AV/usb-c-video-adapters/usb-c-dp-mst-hub~MSTCDP122DP#dnlds
