Just curious. I know in general, use wated on water and oil on oil, but can you use a water based polyacrylic on an oil based stain?

Absolutly. Just give the oil extra time to flash off the solvent. I would give it a couple of days unless the label indicates either a shorter or longer window. The danger is topcoating to soon, as the waterborne coatings set up very quickly and can "trap" the escaping solvent. This causes cloudiness, or worse, peeling.
