Yes, why don't you ask Oracle?

I agree in that the certification matrix lists only the Oracle version
name 9.2, 10gR1, etc …, while listing the OS as Windows Whatever 32
bit or later 64 bit.

As far as I know Oracle only certifies Windows 32 bit Oracle on 32 bit
Windows however that does not mean that it will not run. If you have
a support contract you should be able to switch from 32 bit Oracle to
64 bit Oracle without extra charge.

For anyone unfamiliar with how to find the Oracle certifications for
Windows look at the following two support notes :

Oracle Product Lines - Tips for finding Certification Information
#964664.1

Locate Oracle Database Server Certification Information for Microsoft
Windows Platforms #1062972.1

You also may run into version specific bugs like 3807408 (ORA-12154
because the 64 bit OS installs 32 bit programs in a directory that has
a parenthesis in the name that hits an Oracle bug where you can't run
an executable that is in a directory with a parenthesis in its
name...) etc.
