Yes, I'd write that out in 4/4 time. The snare hits on the 2 and the 4.

I was thinking 2/4 but the sheet music is 4/4.

does beats per minute have anything to do with music time?

yes and no.

BPM is just that, regardless of the time signature.
All time signatures will still have beats per minute, but they have no direct correlation.

You may be mixing up TEMPO vs. TIME SIGNATURE.

I *think* 4/4 means there are four ¼ beats in a measure.

Your TEMPO legend may say q = 60, meaning you count sixty of the quarter beats per minute.

Your linked song is cooking along at 160bpm, and may be easier to count as two half-notes per measure. "A-one-da-and-a-two-da"
