I have a need to charge up something that is rechargeable from an Asian country and want to know if you can plug a 240V foreign device with European 2-prong plug into a US 240V 3-prong dryer outlet?

Electrically yes, you can. Assuming everything is OK it will work fine. I have no idea if it will work physically, but you shouldn't just plug them together: You want to put an overcurrent device in between the outlet and your device. A US dryer outlet is usually fused at 30A, which is very high for consumer electronics. If something goes wrong in your charger it will catch fire before the breaker pops. Inserting a inexpensive fuse will prevent this. Be sure to use one rated for 240VAC (like a 3AG fuse) and not an automotive fuse. If you travel often you may want to make yourself a pigtail consisting of a US dryer cord, a overcurrent device (I would use a breaker here), and an outlet (or power strip) from the other country.
