Could you build this?

No It needs analog FPV video demodulation from an RTL8812BU Wi-Fi chip used as an SDR, which requires RF signal processing expertise and driver or firmware work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a USB driver for the RTL8812BU running in a raw or monitor-like mode that exposes IQ samples, then a DSP pipeline to demodulate analog video signals (NTSC/PAL-style FM) and render frames on Android via USB host APIs. The hard parts are the undocumented chip modes, which usually require reverse-engineering the vendor driver and firmware, and real-time demodulation with low latency. This calls for embedded RF/DSP and driver engineering experience.
