Default Portables work well in garages

My question is regarding "portable" air conditioners where it vents out the window via a hose that is flush with the window and remains behind the window screen.

Are those allowed? It's not mounted to the window, rather sits on the floor inside the house and does not stick out of the window. You can just see the hose openings behind the window screen.

Thoughts?
I have a portable in my garage. It keeps things reasonably cool and dry. I vented it out the wall (6” hole saw through cinder block to a dryer type vent). You have to crack the window open to balance the exhaust air, but I’m quite happy at less than $400 all in.
