Yes. The M0 can control a TB6612. Check your motor specs to make sure it is compatible with the TB6612. In particular, the current requirements. The TB6612 can handle a 1.2A per channel continuous load. It will tolerate brief (i.e. a couple of milliseconds) peaks to 3A such as for startup.

A single motor? Yes. That requires 2, 3, or 4 digital pins (Ain1, Ain2, plus optionally PWMA and/or STBY). The Trinket has 5 digital pins. So you can have full control over 1 motor. If you don't need PWM (i.e. simple on/off control) you could control 2 motors (using Ain1, Ain2, Bin1, & Bin2) and still have access to SDBY.
