Would a person who has already been spoiled on Bioshock still enjoy it?

You will totally enjoy it. It's good to be "surprised" by the plot but it's not a Citizen Kane or Sixth Sense moment. Don't pass up this sublime title or you'll be missing out on the other 90% of the game that is not the final plot twist. Gameplay aside, you can still enjoy the presentation of the themes and ideas as they're implemented through the course of the game.
Bioshock is definetly worth playing at least once. I didn't find it that scary although there where a few moments that made me jump.
To answer your thread title question, yes. It was spoiled for me several times before I played it and what would have been a holy shit reaction at the ending instead became anticipation to reach that point. That's just me though.

The gameplay is very repetitive and you might find yourself giving up before the end because characters keep giving you pointless fetch quests, but the atmosphere, acting, and level detail is absolutely great.
I recommend it, but don't expect perfection.

Would you kindly just grab your money and buy that awesome game already?

I recommend the PC version if you can get it. I played it on the 360 and never was able to finish it because the controls seemed so unrefined. Also, there is a large amount of doing the same thing over and over. Go here. Head that way. Oh no, the way is arbitrarily blocked, you have to go that way to [go around/flip a switch/get mcguffin x/kill guy #2/etc.]. Good, you can now proceed, wait there's something behind you. Well done, you didn't die. Now repeat.
The story is good, but I felt the execution of the mechanics and level design was lacking at best.

What? "Would a person who has already been spoiled on BioShock still enjoy it?" doesn't make much sense... That would usually mean that you already did play it, a lot. Like being spoiled with candy.
And then you say "I've heard it's an excellent RPG" which completely throws me off. By "it" do you mean BioShock, the game you were spoiled on?
...anyway... aside from terrible grammer mistakes I assume you mean you've had the plot spoiled but want to know if it's worth playing... so yes, of course. I prefer the 2nd one to the original because the gameplay is better, but they're cheap now so it's worth getting both.

It's only scary for the weakest of hearts, for me it just walked the line where it was enough for flavor but it would never turn me off.
And you should get it because it has such a great environment and feel to it.

Well, I knew the big twist and I still enjoyed the game very much, so I say yeah, go for it!
P.S. It is not an RPG. To call it an RPG would be to call Mass Effect 2, any LoZ, or Deus Ex an RPG. It is much more of an Action-Adventure with heavy RPG elements.

I already knew roughly what the story was before I got it, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Picked both of them up for $10 (thanks steam) and 1 was really good, 2 was good as well, but the effectively broken GFWL DRM nearly ruined BioShock 2 for me.
Also, I would definitely call them shooters, not RPG's.

It's a great shooter anyway.
And it's really not scary after the first major area. It seems to go for a slight horror vibe at first, then abandon that idea completely.

if you mean spoiled on the twist, then sure, I'm sure you could enjoy it. I mean, I've played through it several times. You might not have that first "holy crap, this game is amazing" playthrough, because that might be dependent on the twist catching you. However, it's still a great game.
