Seeing as the hoaxes were debunked by other scientists...no. It just shows that science holds itself accountable and will find the truth.

No. That's a logical fallacy. You're creating a false choice. To take it to it's logical extreme, even if the entirety of evolution were to be proven untrue, it would still not automatically mean that creationism is true. Those are two very different claims. Moving back to your question, an evolution hoax only shows that people are dishonest. It has nothing whatsoever to say about the truth value of creationism.
And, bear in mind that when these hoaxes are uncovered, it isn't creationists who expose them, but rather scientists using the same tools that allowed them to arrive to the conclusion that evolution is the best supported theory of the origin of life.

If you are talking about things like Piltdown Man... absolutely not.
If you are calling evolution itself a hoax then you obviously don't have a proper education on the subject.
"Evolution OR Creation" is a false dichotomy, disproving one in no way proves the other by default. Positive evidence in support of either is key to understanding which is more likely... currently Evolution has a very strong lead.

No they don't. They support evolution. The fact that they were detected shows the power of scientific analysis to reveal them. Evolution is constantly retested.

They just point to the fact that evolution AND creation are just theories and hoaxes are made by people trying to prove the unproven.

Obviously not, as creation is entirely hoax, and religion is entirely helpless to expose that fact.

Well if you have to have hoaxes to support your theory then that doesn't make it a very good theroy now does it. However, if you don't have to have hoaxes to prove it then it would seem to make a bit more sense then wouldn't it.
