The camera you linked is just a camera with no IR filter, and an IR light.
The Kinect is 2 cameras, one only sees a specific range of IR, and the other only sees visible light. It has an IR laser that projects a grid of light, and using the IR cam to find the size of the dots, generates a gray-scale colored by depth view.
For vision tracking proposes the one you linked might work well, assuming the vision targets reflect IR. It will still pick up visible light however, not just IR.
TLDR: Kinect is a depth cam, and the other is night vision.
