The icon wouldn't load for me. I took a look in /usr/share/applications/code.desktop to see how it referenced the icon. I changed the line:
Icon-Name=code to Icon-Name=com.visualstudio.code and it worked!

It could be also visual-studio-code or visual-studio-code-insiders for Insiders build right now.

I should also note that where is no real need to have Nemo action to open folder in VSCode now, as it is already a recommended application to open folders:

From the /usr/share/applications/code.desktop:

MimeType=text/plain;inode/directory;

You're right I didn't think of that. Although it is an extra click (or hover) to get to it: Right Click on a folder -> Open With -> Visual Studio Code If you check out my fork, I also added another nemo action so that you can right click in a directory and it will open that directory as a folder in VSCode.

Yes, two actions would be better for this case, than just one - currently there is no way to combine different types of selections in one action, AFAIK.

Updated gist, also simplified Exec lines - looks like /bin/sh part is not necessary now.
