That's a great question!
Yes, you can, mostly, use any succulent in this frame. There would be a few I'd avoid, like Lithops, split rock, or anything cactus but most will work. However, it depends also on how long you want the plants to be in there for. Sedum, for instance, might look cute in there at first, but it will quickly find its lack of soil to be not ideal and try to root into its neighbors soil. Sempervivum might give it a nice color pop at first, but they don't like it inside and when they chick or flower, you may have to do some tedious cuttings or replace the plant entirely.
If you're just looking for a quick art piece before planting the succulents in a pot or the ground, then this could work with the majority of succulents, but I wouldn't recommend growing any succulents long term in here, save for one type; air plants.
Air plants don't even require soil, in fact, they prefer to not have soil. They grow slowly, so you wouldn't have to worry about replacing plants in the frame for a long time and they produce surprisingly gorgeous flowers! I've attached a link to our store's dedicated air plant page, mostly because they'd work well in this frame, but also because they're pretty neat as is too. I hope this helps!
