No, the eastern woodlands tribes did not use totem poles - those were limited just to the far north-west coast region and especially to the area of Vancouver Island.
Many people are confused about the term totem pole and apply it indiscriminately to various other types of poles set up by other tribes. It is likely that the woodlands tribes did set up poles with skulls and hides of deer, elk, eastern woodlands buffalo or bear as a mark of respect for the animal spirits and as burial ground markers - but these are not totem poles.
The Iroquois and their Algonquian neighbours used "war posts" in religious ceremonies before setting off to war; these represented enemies and were struck by the warriors as if they were real enemy warriors. They were not totem poles.
The Powhatan tribes and others in the area of Virginia set up "dance posts" in a ring used for ceremonies and dances, representing tribal ancestors. They were not totem poles.
