If I am physically unable to do squats with a barbell on my shoulders, will I get the same effect with gobblet squats?

Due to an injury, I can no longer put a barbell across my shoulders/any type of weight on top. If I'm doing a variety of other glute exercises (gobblet squat, split squats, lunges with weights, dead lifts, etc...) will I still be able to lift and build my butt muscles?

Yes, there are so many ways to build butt muscles, squats are a very small set of exercises to work your glutes. Though I'm a bit concerned about the other exercises you mentioned. Is it your back that you can't strain? Because in that case you need to be really careful with deadlifts.

Goblet squats don't work the hamstrings nearly as hard as conventional barbell squats. Beyond that however yes they are just as good if not better. Supplement them with exercises that target the hamstrings such as stiff legged dead lifts or hamstring curls and you're golden

you'll get the same effect via vertical leg press.
