Yes and yes.

Operator, Edit Screen, Screen, Manage Images, Add

To change the image of a screen entity define the image of whatever property it is relative to using scr.SetProperty. All property names are visible in screen edit mode when you click the entity.

scr.SetProperty("SceenEntityName", "Bg Image", "MyImage.png")

or

scr.SetProperty("SceenEntityName", "Image Up", "MyImage.png")

See this video on how to add images to Mach4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1xZkFgS5cQ

Then you can call the image as per Chaoticone's directions. eg: scr.SetProperty("Label", "Image", "0.png")

It depends on what kind of item you choose to put the image on. For example if you choose a toggle button, you can set the image properties for "Image Up" or "Image Dn". For the Image item, you can set different images for only the Image Property. For other items such as Group Container or Tabs, you can add an image to "Bg Image".
