I own a punto mk2 2002 plate

Hi and welcome
It's hard to be 100% certain from just a picture, but I don't see any reason why not.
I know you can't post links yet but, assuming these are ebay items, can you post the item numbers? Can make sure then

OK so that stereo doesn't actually have an ISO connector, it's literally just a bundle of loose wires, so you'd need to manually wire it into the harness from the fitting kit. If you're not comfortable doing that, I'd look for a different headunit.
Also, for £14 I'd be very concerned about the quality, it'd be as likely to catch fire as anything else!
Finally, whether or not you noticed, it's worth mentioning it doesn't have a CD player.

The solid state ones seem to actually be pretty good. Even the sub-£20 ones. And they tend to be shorter, so easy to get wiring safely behind.
Easiest way to wire up is to get an ISO-to-{anything} harness and cut & join wires to that.
Avoids cutting the car wiring so it's easy to go back.

I don't want a cd one, I need it to have Bluetooth for my phone. Unfortunately I haven't got alot of money to spend on a stereo, £20 tops. Which stereo would fit my mk2 without cutting or messing with wires as I have no clue about those things.

I would look on ebay for a used/decent make of stereo rather than the no-name chinese ones.
How about this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Car...509949&hash=item33dab0ba1a:g:3h8AAOSwevlaA-A-

It'll have the ISO connector.

I know it has a CD but you don't have to use it!

You may or may not have to mess with the wiring. I've got a MK2b and had to wire in a permanent live from the cigarette lighter. Not sure about the MK2s. Have a look in the guides:

i brought a pioneer stereo, it has changable red & yellow wires, it has a removable faceplate, i connected up to the fiat wire block & it came on straight away. Here's my issue, it won't turn off, which means even if i take faceplate off it may still drain my battery.how do i get it so it doesn't turn on unless ignition is on as my punto doesn't have acc on ignition.thank you
