Hypothetically speaking:

We are about to start ROC for my husband. We did not petition for his son as he did not have custody. If custody were granted to him while in ROC or after he receives his 10 year GC can he petitioned for his son to come to the US?

Or you can submit an I-130 to petition for your step-child; see "Step-parent" row: https://www.visajourney.com/guides/us-immigration-guide-for-children/

Being a conditional resident has no restrictions on who you can petition compared to somebody without conditions.

As noted, custody alone may or may not be sufficient depending on country. Local laws apply. Often, sole custody (legal + physical) is sufficient.
