Can models receive a deep striking bonus from a unit that arrived via deep strike that turn? More specifically, I'm trying to Deep Strike with a unit of Bloodletters, carrying an icon of Chaos. If they roll successfully and appear on the field, can another Deep Striking unit (let's say, another unit of Bloodletters) take advantage of the Icon and not scatter in the same turn? I want to use the icon to bring in a lot of Daemon units, preferably with minimal scattering.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

No, they can not, and I believe this is detailed in the deep strike rules.

It's not anywhere nearly so cut-and-dried as that. Deep Strike is silent on the issue. While the general Reserves rules have a general prohibition against start-of-turn abilities being used by units that are arriving from Reserves, Chaos Daemons icons don't carry the "must be on the table at the start of the turn" requirement that every other similar piece of equipment has always had.

The topic has been exhaustively discussed recently; please feel free to Search for it & reach your own conclusions. If it's for tournament play, consult with your TO; Adepticon has gone with you MAY use Icons the turn they arrive.
