No its an Illustrator script. Photoshop doesnt have a prop like area. But they have the measurement tool there

You'd need to convert the image to a selection, convert the selection to a path, export the path to Illustrator, then run the script in Illustrator.

It seems like PS cannot measure an irregular area...
