Probably, yes. As a first test, you can try downloading the Google Cardboard app and seeing it it crashes (or even lets you download it). But I'd guess that screen is going to hold you back, even if the apps run okay. When split in half and magnified, screen resolution really makes a difference. 720 is really the minimum, with 1080 being the standard, and higher being optimal.
If this does inspire you to upgrade and you're thinking of getting one of the budget phones out there, also note that your phone needs gyroscopic sensors to work with Cardboard. My friend got a Moto E and was bummed that his Mattel Viewmaster didn't work with it.
