Haven't done this in a while, but I just tested, and ODT custom style files work fine for me under Org 8.3.4. (Note: I haven't pulled the latest Org changes; waiting for another package to catch up.)
I've never know this to fail as such. I did have a problem for a while using .odt files as stylesheets on Mac under Snow Leopard, which apparently didn't get the command Org used to unzip the ODT file and extract the style document. I never found the fix, so for a while I worked around it by extracting the style .xml manually and referenced that file instead. Now everything seems to be working as it should, though.
