I note from your photos the K&N filter was fitted taken directly from the box yet you mention later it can be oiled.

Question 1: Is the filter pre-oil when taken directly from the box?
Question 2: How many kilometres can an oiled filter be used before it needs to be washed and reoiled?

Depends what PCX you have, the new esp model has a different airfilter.
The original model's airfilter is 17210-KWN-900

I have a 2013 PCX 150 but I already have 4500 miles so I would like to have it on hand when it needs to be replaced.

Then the part I linked to is no use to you.
It doesn't need replaced till 10,000 miles so you've got plenty time to find one.
