Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. My excuse is that Covid had left me high and dry on 9th and my main factions for the last 15 years have been Guard and Orks

I was looking to start a BA army but noticed that their Codex it marked as a supplement. Does this mean I need the vanilla SM Codex and the BA supplement just to play the army?

The Marine codex has all the generic units and basic chapter rules available to all the Subfactions, the BA supplement has chapter-specific units/relics/stratagems. It's not required to have both to play BA but if you're using anything chapter-specific you will need both.
For example, if you bought the BA Combat Patrol you would only need the SM codex to use its contents. If you wanted to add a unit of Death Company or use the BA psychic powers you would then need to get the BA supplement.

Yes, you need the SM codex plus the BA supplement.
In former editions, BA had a stand-alone codex but these days are gone.

Originally BA had to share a codex with the DA, I think it was called Angels of Death back in second. They were also just a supplement booklet to the main SM codex in 3rd or 4th edition.

Really they have just gone back to how they used to be with the other 5 first foundings also getting a bit of extra love (to be honest up until 8th it was Codex Ultramarines in all but name like it was back in Second)
