Of course - but Apple isn't going to produce a custom iOS build to find pictures of dissidents for a dictator(at least I find that unlikely), but if it's a system that everyone knows exists but verifies your pictures against some closed, uninspectable and constantly updated database of hashes......what's the harm of sneaking few more hashes in, right?
They could already be doing this though, right? Unless some trustworthy external auditor has gone through the iOS/macOS/iPadOS source and audited that they don't (good luck with that.)
