Now I want to run the visual studio code as I run in windows machine. How do I achieve this?

you should start by installing the package. You only just queried the package, to install it, you must (as super user) run:
rpm --install code-1.40.2-1574694258.el7.x86_64.rpm
once that is installed, you'll be able to launch the program by launching the command:
code
As @Leon.fon noted, if you have only an ssh
connection, you won't be able to start a GUI, but exporting your display might work:
ssh -X ...
