No you can't get a picture into an assy.
As a work around what I have done is draw the whole decal in a sketch (a lot of work) then extrude and make it multi parts, change the colour of the text and lines to black and the main decal body alternative colour, then make an decal assy to group all the bits together, then insert that assy into your main assy.
not ideal but does work.6

Create sketch where you wan't the image and in that sketch:
Image will be a bit hazy and will disappear if you hide the sketch but it should be better than nothing.
+1 for making sketch image optionally work as decal//rami1 -

I like the idea of creating the label as a 3-D part and then creating the label drawling from the 3-D parted. When I was using SolidWorks that is what I used to do. Because my label manufacturer created their own artwork from my drawing and did not use my artwork. Just something to think about.0

Another way of doing this is using a single part, sketching all the detail in on the front face, then performing a split face. This is my preferred method in SW's however in Onshape the ability to change the colour of individual face's (edit Face Appearance) is not available yet, so you can't get the contrast of different colours. That's why I chose the assy method mentioned above.
