Yes, I've seen those same problems. It's not so much that good engineers don't exist overseas, it's that the communication and legal barriers facilitate fraud and the channels get flooded with hustlers.
I've only seen one outsourcing shop that could make things work, and it was a small owner-operated operation where the guy who ran it kept flying back and forth and took a personal role in hiring, management, and communication. It was impressive to see but wouldn't scale.

If anything I would think it would be harder to outsource manufacturing than software engineering, more communication and real world problems to sort out in addition to legal, cultural and communication issues.
