No. The U.S. Apple Watch has a unique model number, different from Apple Watches sold outside the U.S. watchOS will look at the model and number and REFUSE to enable the Oxygen sensor.
If you want the Oxygen sensor DO NOT buy the Apple Watch in the U.S. until either the court case is resolved in Apple's favor, or the patent expires in August 2028.

It won't unless an USA court gives Apple permission to put it back on.
