Will this screwdriver set fit into my corded Bosch GSB 450?

Question

I've this drill. My aim is to drive screws using this driver (not really worried about the drill bits, those are just bonus)
I've seen numerous videos on YouTube but all use the holder end (screenshot below) on cordless drill machines.

This makes me wonder if I can make that part (circled above) fit into my corded machine.

You absolutely can. In the professional world that's the standard, in fact.
Your drill can accept any round or hexagonal bit or driver up to 10mm in diameter. It's not fussy. Chucks don't vary between corded and cordless tools, generally speaking.

Will it fit? almost certainly. Is it a good idea? probably not.
Most modern regular drills* have a 3 jaw chuck which will grip round or hexagonal objects in a wide variety of sizes. While I can't see the jaws of the chuck in your photo I would be extremely surprised if it was not such a chuck.
The problem with using a corded drill as a screwdriver is that most corded drills have no torque control and very crude speed control. This means it is easy to either damage the screwhead/bit or in some cases drive the screwhead through the material.
* There are also SDS+ drills but you would know if you had one of those.
