Acorns are acorns, although I'm not sure how careful you may want to be about getting your scent on them while gathering and carrying them. I'm sure the deer will eat them if they find them, but I think the main draw for hunting near oak trees is that the deer ALREADY frequent the area because they know the acorns are there. With imported ones, the deer will have to stumble across them on a trail or sniff them out for themselves.
If I were using them, I would place some upwind of your shooting lanes so that a deer following the scent will pass by you at a distance.
Good luck!

Keep 'em all in the Bull.
