I did this early in my career as a product owner with an offshore team in India... Write feedback/specs, send them over at end of day US time. Have a fresh build ready for review by start of business.
Worked amazingly when it worked. Really stretched things out when the devs misunderstood us or got confused by our lack of clarity and we had to find time for a call... Also eventually there got to be some gnarly technical debt and things really slowed down.

I think it can only work if the product owner literally owns the product as in has FULL decision making power about what goes or doesn't go etc. it doesn't work when a product manager is a glorified in between guy, dictating the wishes of the CEO through a game of telephone from the management.
