No. It doesn't really matter.

I don't even use PVA. As long as the mud joints and texture is thoroughly dry.
If your painting flat wall, I just use several coats of the finish product. The first coat acts as a sealer.
Lightly drag a sanding pole between coats to knock down any high spots. Don't sand raw texture, it will remove it.

If your painting an enamel wall or ceiling, I would suggest using a primer. Enamels don't have a lot of sealing properties.

What are you painting?
