No - this is the original non-VR version. The later AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED II added stabilisation.
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
Yes. The built-in AF-S silent-wave motor handles autofocus in-lens, so this works on every Nikon F-mount DSLR including entry-level bodies.
