Probably, and at a much lower dose if you're taking pills -- oxycodone has better bioavailability than morphine when taken orally.
OxyContin isn't the "strongest pain killer" available, but it is one of the stronger ones that are given to outpatients.
Sublingual buprenorphine (pills that you take by dissolving them under your tongue) is sold in Mexico, under the brand name Temgesic. It might be easier to get, and it doesn't appear to have significant withdrawal symptoms, so people often use it to detox.
