Yes, it is an audio signal, and you can easily record it as such. With a
little training, you can even read it directly :)

You need the timecode only once to find your reference point. What's
more important is to sync your word clock to the video timing. There are
a number of devices out there that allow you to generate a Wordclock out
of a Video Sync signal or the LTC.
