The following is stated in the licensing guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877/options.htm#DBLIC2157
Oracle Cloud File System
Oracle Cloud File System includes Oracle ASM Cluster File System (Oracle
ACFS) and Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (Oracle ADVM).
* Use of Oracle ADVM and Oracle ACFS's base functionality (i.e.,
excluding the below-listed advanced functionality) is free for
all data types, including non-Oracle files.
* Use of Oracle ACFS's advanced functionality requires the Cloud
File System license. The advanced functionality consists of
snapshots, replication, tagging, realm-based security,
encryption, and auditing.
Oracle will provide support for ACFS/ADVM only if the server is running
an Oracle product, which may include Oracle Linux or Oracle Solaris,
that is also under Oracle support.
and the following is also stated in the RAC on standard edition section
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877/editions.htm#DBLIC121)
"ASM Cluster File System (ACFS) or a local OS file system must be used
to store all non-database files"
.
so, I would say no
