can i copy oracle home from one machine to the other.Both the machines have the same naming convention.If i do so,do i need to run relink all command once i have copied the oracle binaries.Also does it have any impact on future patching.

yes

No need to relink.

>Also does it have any impact on future patching.
You will not be able to patch.
OUI will not know about any Oracle s/w due to lack of inventory.

How will files know they reside on different hardware?

well i quite dont understand,if oraInst.loc is pointing to a location which is existing on the new server and has Orainventory copied over from the original server,will it still have problems in future patching.

Simply copying the ORACLE_HOME is not supported. OUI offers an option for cloning Oracle with the -clone parameter that will recreate the required inventory, relink if necessary and support future patching.
