You need to build a module, because Magento not support external images "out the box". As advice, you need to download images localy and after import.
As fast and simple one time solution use wget and load from file. For example:
Wget download all your files to the folder and you can import them from local source.
If you need to run this process periodically, you definitely need to build a module or find free solution
If you want to show images directly from remote url, do the following:
<img src="<?php echo $_product->getSmallImage() ?>" />
to<img src="<?php echo $_product->getCustomImage() ?>" />
