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

Thanks.

Particle board can finish up nicely. I would use zinnser sanding sealer
50/50 for the first coat, then straight after for 2 or 3 more coats to
build up. Then sand, and you are ready to prime and paint.
