Yes, I have used both USB wifi and USB Ethernet to install Debian on laptops more than 10 years ago. There was no problem as long as the device was supported by the Linux kernel. I haven't done it in more than 10 years though so I won't be able to recommend specific models now. Something I *did* do recently was tether my cell phone by USB to a laptop and the Debian installer was able to use it as a USB network device, which got me out of a pinch. I believe this is a generic USB network support in Linux so it's more about if you phone allows you to do it at all rather than anything about the phone hardware.
