No.
PVA has no purpose in decorating, or most of the other things people seem to think it's used for.
I might just paint over it. After sanding the lining paper around edges of filler. I was going to put some lining paper over hole but after filling it the lining paper would be too thick I guess
The middle picture is how it looks now
This is the pva I was gonna mix with water.

No. The filler isn't that obvious anyway stuck up in the corner above the stairs
Just paint over the filler.
If it were a large area I would recommending thinning the paint with water first to deal with any suction issues but it is so small that you can use full fat paint. You may need two or more coats depending on the filler and paint.
Please keep your poundshop PVA away from anything you intend to paint. PVA starts to re-emulsify when it gets wet. As a decorator I groan when I need to paint over PVA.
As has been suggested, PVA is one of the most widely and inappropriately used products. Never use it prior to painting and never use it when tiling (use SBR instead).

Put a square of lining paper over the hole, with a very sharp knife double cut it, patch done, jobs a good 'un basic stuff if I may say.
That would work if the filler had been sanded flat to the plaster but in this case it looks like it has been sanded flat to the surrounding paper.
