Unfortunately no. After much experimentation, I came to the conclusion that for the correct cover image to show up for the highlight sharing feature, the eBook has to be in your Amazon archive. Adding a 113 header record (that contains a valid ASIN) and a 501 (CDETYPE) header record that contains 'EBOK' is just not enough to "fool" Amazon into thinking it's anything other than a "Personal Document." Sorry, but only the "Furthest Page Read" synchronization between devices seems to work.
