Yes, acrylic paints (water based) will be fine when used over oil based primer. Depending on the brand, allow 24-48 hours of drying time before applying the paint. Some types can be painted over in as little as 1-2 hours.

If the base coat used in your project is water base then yes, you bet you can. If there is any chance that the base coat used was an oil base paint then you cannot paint directly over it. The acrylic enamel will not adhere to the oil base paint and will begin to peel off as soon as it is dry. In which case a coat of primer is in order.
