This may also be helpful… Confirms what was said earlier
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmfilesystem.htm#OSTMG31000
Starting with Oracle Automatic Storage Management 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3),
Oracle ACFS supports RMAN backups (BACKUPSET file type), archive logs
(ARCHIVELOG file type), and Data Pump dumpsets (DUMPSET file type). Note that
Oracle ACFS snapshots are not supported with these files.

Subject: Re: ACFS licensing
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
