Probably not, the pin configuration of a 30A dryer plug should be different from a 15 or 20A A/C plug. The demand draw of a dryer is higher than that a A/C unit and would trip the 15 or 20A breaker. By putting a bigger breaker on the A/C circuit would not be a good idea either because the wire size to the A/C plug would then be under sized.

Can you plug a 220 hair dryer into a 230 plug?

Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.

what kind of voltage converter do I Need To Run A Clothes Dryer When I Just Have Standard 110 voltage In My Home ?

A step down converter will convert the voltage from 220/230 volts to 110 volts. Converters are labeled to display their capabilities, such as "110V to 220V Converter". Read the instruction manual for your Clothes Dryer and sketch the plug. You'll want to know the voltage of the clothes dryer --- it'll likely be 220 V. You need to visit a major appliance dealer and ask to buy a step down converter after discussing the plug type and voltage found in the owner's manual.
