They have the same mounting points so yes!

I thought the poker 2 has additional mounting points that the poker X does not (like the one in the center). As long as there are no components blocking that mounting point and you are okay with having a screw left over then it should otherwise work.

looks like there is a diode in the middle. The standoff might fit. You can always do this mod and it will fit for sure though:

I recommend you do the mod dorkvader posted. It will increase the stability of the board nicely. It's a nice board, I particularly like the togglable arrow key cluster. I have actually found that a PCB mount board in an aluminium case feels a lot like a plate mounted board due to the stiff support it gets from the case (I have a Pure Limited). So no real need to add a plate unless you're obsessive like me  ;)
