This particular one from West Worthing can only be issued to London Victoria, not London Terminals, but it is possible to use Thameslink trains between Brighton and East Croydon.

I can't find a ticket of code PBR from West Worthing to London Terminals (or if I search specifically for Victoria)
Can you find the fare on BRfares.com and link to it?
Edit: Ah you mean the Super Off Peak Day Return (PDR); I will amend your post accordingly to avoid confusion.
Also just to add that brand restrictions are occasionally implemented by GTR, even though there is no provision for brand restrictions in the Ticketing Settlement Agreement (TSA). In this case the brand they are purporting to restrict you from taking is their Gatwick Express brand. This is unlawful in the opinion of many forum members and the matter will go to court next year.
If you overpay as a result (either by purchasing a more expensive ticket, or if you are charged a penalty/excess/additional fare), you would be entitled to claim a refund of the difference if the court action is successful.

The fare only exists to London Victoria, so cannot be used to travel to alternative London termini.
It's routed "Not Gatwick Express", so there is no problem using it on Thameslink services (e.g. from Brighton to East Croydon).
You may encounter difficulties using it on Gatwick Express branded services from Brighton to Victoria, although legally speaking, any Penalty Fare or excess fare issued is highly dubious (there is an ongoing class action lawsuit regarding this).

It might also be noted that there is, for the time being until it is withdrawn early in 2024, a super off-peak day travelcard from West Worthing which can be used to go to London Bridge and anywhere else in London, although it is £7.00 more than the super off peak day return to London Victoria.
