ᐅ Is a fine plaster finish (Q2 lime-cement or gypsum) sufficient for living spaces?

Hello everyone
I am currently trying to familiarize myself with the topic of house construction and keep coming across some confusing questions. For example:

I have a building specification that states all living rooms will have fine plaster (quality Q2 cement-lime or gypsum plaster) applied to the walls. Nowadays, it is common to use plaster instead of wallpaper on walls. Would this type of plaster be suitable for that purpose, or does it require additional treatment, such as a different kind of plaster? Or does it definitely need to be painted or wallpapered afterward (the walls are intended to be white anyway)?

If a different type of plaster is needed, can it be applied directly, or does the fine plaster always have to be used as a kind of base coat?

I think that looks perfectly fine. But everyone has their own preference. I will do it the same way. So, Q2 skim coated and then plaster or non-woven wallpaper...

Q2 painted white
White wall with fine texture and slight shading.

Q2 only skim-coated and painted? Great result

Yes, exactly, filled and sanded only in some spots where there were imperfections
