All poles have only have a limited level of seperation. Most horizonal and vertical dual polarised antennas only have about 30 dB of seperation between the poles. You will notice if you use two radios of similar frequency on different poles of these antennas it does not work well due to the limited seperation.
The techniques used in MIMO radios do not require absolute seperation, just enough spatial diversity for the DSP to be able to differentiate the signals to a point. Different polarisation certainly achieves this goal. You could use the same polarisation from three different antennas and still get spatial diversity. Over longer distances though it becomes harder to differentiate the signals which is why we tend to add the different polarisation to different antennae to increase the diversity.
