NO. Plants indeed take in CO2 and give out O2, But they still require oxygen.
There are many other greenhouse gases present in Venus' atmosphere which makes plant life almost impossible. Also Venus' is unimaginably hot to hold plant life.
As no plant can survive in Venus the point of producing oxygen does not arise.

Have you ever seen a plant that can survive the average temperature of 890 degrees F.?
Not to mention the atmospheric pressure equal to about 90 times that of earth, and an atmosphere composed of 96% carbon dioxide, 3.5% nitrogen, and less than 1% is made up of carbon monoxide, argon, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor.
If so, it might be a great candidate. For all we know there may be extremophile microbes there already. It is so hot that all of the satellite probes sent to Venus melted down after a few minutes.
There is most certainly gravity on Venus.

Sure. But what you want is probably more on the order of a microorganism. There are such critters that survive in active volcanoes and in the bowels of the earth. With the right modifications (and lots and lots of time) they might be able to modify Venus' atmosphere to something more suitable for our own use...

I seriously doubt it, considering the atmosphere is so acidic that the plant wouldn't survive long enough to make a difference.

Well, there's also this slight problem with gravity on Venus...

No ... radiation too intense for life
