Are they correct?
I am gung ho about cooking.
I am gung ho about going back to my country.
I just bought a very good house. I am very gung ho about it.
I am going back to my country. I am really gung ho about it.
I know your true color. don't jerk me around.
A smart person isn't easy to be jerked around.
A weak and simple person is easy to be jerked around.
He lost his job. He needs money. He jerks around for money. Nobody likes to be his friends.
If you always jerk around, people won't trust you if you really need someone's help oneday.

Hi mimi,
Those two expressions are just a little too strong and idiomatic for the sentences provided. I would replace them with:
gung ho: excited, looking forward (to)
jerk me around: fool around with me
jerked around: fooled
jerks around: goes fooling around
jerk around: fool around
