that harness in your picture gets crimped/soldered together to another wiring harness then it plugs into the 2 plugs behind your car

Boy I hope I got here fast enough...

DO NOT CUT YOUR FACTORY WIRING HARNESS OFF!!!

The harness that came with the radio is designed to be wired to a second, separate harness designed to plug into the cars harness. So no, the one harness alone is not enough.
