Is it ok to use wood filler to skim coat a particle board surface
before sanding, priming and painting?

I don't see that turning out very well.
Shellac based primer would work very well.
Zinsser B-I-N is what I use. If one coat doesn't fill the nooks and
crannies, level-sand the first coat, and the second should be baby-butt
smooth.
