Not currently, as far as I'm aware. LibreOffice lacks Latex's ability to
decide for itself where best to place an image on the page, and Org-mode
shouldn't even try. 

It's no doubt technically possible to add a feature to specify image
coordinates in the ATTR_ODT line, but I don't know if there would be a
point. In very many cases, it will probably be easier to fix stuff
manually in LibreOffice afterwards than specifying coordinates in Org.

Yours,
Christian
