Measure the gap width first to know what size to get. But yeah. You'll be saving more in heating/AC costs than the cost of the weatherstripping so jump ahead to doing and don't sweat it.

Gap width meaning distance from the face of the door to the frame?

Yeah. They have different thicknesses so if it's too thin then it won't solve your problem. If it's too thick you'll have to lay in the door to get it shut. It's a 1 star difficulty level so don't sweat it

Those look like the standard weather strips that just pull out of the groove and can be purchased at any home improvement/hardware store.

Yes, the width of the void you are filling.
