Based on my experience, this doesn't matter. I have a video card with no USB-C outputs. I go from full-sized DisplayPort to a female <-> female DisplayPort coupler, to this [0] bidirectional DP <-> USB-C cable, which plugs into my monitor. It works great and even does 4K 60FPS uncompressed HDR no problem.
I see no reason why you'd be unable to then slap on a female <-> female USB-C coupler and then that USB-C -> HDMI adapter.
(There's also no reason you couldn't cut out the first DP cable and coupler and plug the DP <-> USB-C cable directly into the video card. I just have very long (fiber-optic) DP cables that the second cable plugs into.)
