I finally got this to work on Elementary OS Juno:
I changed the command "nano ~/.devilspie/vscode_transparent.ds" to "nano ~/.devilspie/code_transparent.ds" I pasted the devilspie code in (only the one with the transparency defined in the hex code works) and pressed ctrl+s to save and then ctrl+x to exit. Then you have to run devils pie at startup by adding the command "devilspie" in settings/applications/startup.

I'm not sure if changing the file name from vscode_transparent.ds made this work or if using the hex code and not the 87/100 code made this work. But it does not work without devilspie running.

Basically changing name has no impact, it is just that using the hex code with 87/100 caused an error
" unrecognized argument $((0xffffffff "
This was the error in the second code
