If I were you, I would look around for the non-textured masonite. I can't find it at my local home improvement stores, but my plywood distributor does carry it.
However, this will be the insides of a dresser, right? If it will never be seen, the only flaw that I can think of is that the vacuum press will have the strength to telegraph some texture onto the veneer.....but it won't be seen, right? I think that you might get away with it. If you do it, let us know how it looks. I may need to try some of that stuff in a pinch someday.
Why not just press up a small sample, and see how it looks, before doing the whole project?
I have used that texured masonite when I was building a stand for my lathe (two sheets of 3/4 mdf with masonite sandwiched on either side...I needed this to be HEAVY)....I can tell you that the textured side really sucked up the adhesive much more what I thought...use a little extra.
