Yes. Ozone is a very powerful oxidizer, and will oxidize H2S into sulfate ion which can be consumed without bad effect (it is a laxative in large enough quantities). This effectively removes the odour and taste associated with H2S.

First, ozone is NOT used in filters; some ionic filters actually emit ozone, which is a health hazard. Ozone is only good for humans when it is high in the atmosphere where it blocks harmful ultra-violet sunlight from reaching Earth's surface.
