There's another factor involved to convince the iron to let go of the oxygen, so if we mimicked that as well, then yes. It's just chemical reactions.
I thought it was just (or mostly) partial pressure of O2 when it comes to hemoglobin? It's been about 15 years since I was in school so I might remember wrong.
"Carbon dioxide increases hydrogen ion concentration and lowers tissue pH. As a consequence, hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen decreases and oxygen release to tissues is facilitated."
