There is a possibility but uncommon. Genital type 2 rarely goes to the mouth. Genital type 1 would more easily go to the mouth but it is usually not too active in the genitals so there is not a lot of shedding.

We read far more often of it happening the other way around, that is people with oral herpes give it to other when give oral sex.

Yes, it's possible to give/get oral herpes or genital herpes if there are no out breaks.
