No
Either fix the bracket to the wooden frame behind the board (unlikely the holes match up)

or fit wood planks (2cm * 5cm) to the wood frame behind the board and mount the bracket on these planks

It is unsafe. Your TV will crash. It must be anchored to studs that are re-enforcing the plaster board.

Isn’t there a recommended rawlplug fitting for plaster boards? You really need to get the fastening device into a solid wall, otherwise. Why not cut a strip out of the plaster board, and fit a solid bracket direct to the wall, then cover it with a narrow wooden strip/veneer?

Don’t risk an expensive TV on the unsupporting nature of plaster!

Personally I would not risk hanging my wide screen tv on a plaster board wall! Just think how gutted you will be if it falls on the floor!
