The Data Protector imlemetation in Oracle is based on RMAn, so yes, RMAN is needed.

DP does not care if you are using a filesystem or raw disks underneath Oracl!

The only limitation I am aware of is the following:

You cannot restore SAP R/3 tablespaces that are located on raw partitions using the Data Protector GUI. Instead, use SAP R/3 restore
tools (for example, brrestore).
